1998 Map of Vixen

About this map

Castor Creek and its many tributaries, including Bull Creek and Moody Creek, dominate this rural Louisiana landscape where the borders of Jackson, Caldwell, and Winn Parishes meet. The settlement of Vixen sits in the northeast corner of the sheet, serving as a focal point for a region characterized by dense creek networks and timbered terrain. This 1998 survey captures the area just before the turn of the millennium, showing a landscape defined by natural watercourses rather than heavy urban development. Evidence of local travel and historical routes can be found at Seven Runs Crossing and the various unnamed cemeteries (Cem) scattered across the parish lines. The intricate drainage patterns of Beaucoup Creek and Lick Creek in the south reflect the low-lying, riparian character of North Central Louisiana's piney woods and bottomlands.
