About this map

Williana serves as the primary settlement hub within this mid-1980s landscape, positioned near the heart of the Kisatchie National Forest. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including the westward-flowing Big Prairie Creek and Friday Creek, which drain toward the Catahoula National Wildlife Management Area. A notable archaeological or topographical point, Spanish Mound, is located near Saddle Creek in the western reaches of the survey.

Local industry and utility are visible through the presence of a Gravel Pit and a Lookout Tower used for forest management. For genealogists, the map identifies a local Cem near the settlement, while the transition between the forest and the wildlife management area is clearly marked by a Wildlife Management Boundary. This survey captures the rural character of Grant Parish before significant modern development altered these forest-managed lands.
