About this map

The settlement of Vernon serves as a central point in this North Louisiana landscape, where the boundary between Lincoln Parish and Jackson Parish runs through a complex network of creeks and ridges. The topography is defined by significant watercourses like S Choudrant Cr and Castor Cr, which carve through the terrain near Buckenham Hill. This area is characterized by a high density of small rural cemeteries, including the Mount Zion Saint Rest Cem and Ebenezer Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogists tracking local family histories.

A network of parish roads, such as Dorsey Shop Rd and Vernon-Eros Rd, connects the scattered communities of Vernon and Kelleys. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the region, featuring named branches like Washington Br and McDowell Br that feed into larger systems like Sugar Cr and Colston Cr. These water features and small-scale settlements reflect a long-standing rural structure that has persisted in this portion of the Piney Hills.
