2020 Map of Temple

About this map

Kisatchie National Forest covers much of this Central Louisiana landscape, where the borders of Natchitoches, Rapides, and Vernon Parishes meet. The settlement of Temple lies at the heart of a network of local roads such as Parish Rd 45 and Parish Rd 55, surrounded by numerous watercourses including Bayou Celestine and Comrade Cr. To the north, the community of Mora is situated near the Natchitoches and Vernon Parish line, while Simpson anchors the southwestern corner of the sheet. Genealogy researchers will find several well-documented burial sites throughout the terrain, specifically Comrade Cem, Schorn Brook Cem, and Blackwell Cem. The map illustrates a region defined by its creek systems, such as Middle Cr and Shinglemill Br, which weave through the forested sections and small rural settlements like Burnstown and Pine Coupee.
