About this map

The settlement of Williana lies at a crossroads in the heart of Kisatchie National Forest, surrounded by the dense timberlands and creek-fed bottoms of Grant Parish. This landscape is defined by its water and elevation, from the heights of Mosley Hill and Johns Hills to the broad expanse of Big Prairie. In the western portion of the map, the Spanish Mound stands near the headwaters of Iatt Cr, serving as a distinct landmark in an area otherwise dominated by the winding paths of Saddle Bayou and Camp Pond Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Liberty Chapel Cem near the center of the survey, a quiet point of reference amidst the scattered forest service roads and parish routes. The drainage patterns of Indian Cr and Alligator Br to the north, and Hurricane Cr to the south, illustrate the intricate hydrology that shaped early settlement patterns and the timber industry in this part of Louisiana.
