About this map

Montgomery and the surrounding woodlands of Kisatchie National Forest anchor this landscape along the border of Winn and Grant Parishes. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Nantachie Creek and Dartigo Creek, which flow through a region characterized by small rural settlements and timberland. Historical points of interest for researchers include several family-named roads and landmarks, such as Mars Hill and the adjacent Mars Hill Cem.

The settlement pattern shows a shift between established towns like Verda and New Verda, while smaller locales like Wheeling and Emden are connected by a web of parish roads. Toward the south, the landscape opens into Nantachie Lake, where Falcon Bayou and Tyrouge Bayou meet the water. This 2015 data provides a clear view of the modern road network, including Olin Tilton Road and Harrisonburg Road, layered over the traditional land divisions of the Louisiana backcountry.
