2015 Map of Vixen

About this map

The Vixen community lies at the crossroads of northern Louisiana's creek-fed timberlands, situated near the meeting point of Jackson, Caldwell, and Winn Parishes. This landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Castor Cr and Bear Cr, which carve through the terrain and influence the layout of local parish roads. The map reveals a dispersed settlement pattern centered around small cemeteries and rural landmarks like Hood Mill (Firetower Rd), reflecting the area's long-standing reliance on forestry and small-scale agriculture. Genealogists can identify key burial sites such as Palestine Cem, Hickory Springs Cem, and the Old New Church Cem, which serve as physical anchors for family histories in this part of the state. The southern reaches are marked by the winding path of Beaucoup Cr, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped the early development of these rural parishes.
