About this map

Urania and Tullos serve as the primary hubs in this central Louisiana landscape, where the borders of LaSalle, Winn, and Grant Parishes converge. The map documents a territory defined by its complex drainage network, anchored by the meandering course of the Little River and numerous tributaries like Chickasaw Creek and Cochran Cr. The distribution of infrastructure reflects the region's historical reliance on the timber and oil industries, with Oil Field RD and various "parish roads" threading through the pine woods to reach dispersed settlements and family landholdings.

Local history and genealogy are preserved through the documentation of several burial grounds, including Urania Cem, New Union Cem, and Pendarvis Cem. Smaller hamlets like Rochelle and Grandstaff appear alongside significant water management features such as the Georgetown Water Supply. This survey captures the transition between the rolling uplands and the river bottomlands, illustrating the established road patterns that connect these small timber-country communities.
