About this map

The complex hydrology of the Rapides Parish lowlands is defined by the winding paths of Bayou Boeuf and Bayou Robert. This agricultural and timber landscape at the turn of the 21st century features a dense network of sloughs, including Turtle Slough and Plantation Slough, which drain the alluvial plains toward the Indian Creek Reservoir. The human footprint is evident in the scattered rural settlements like Chambers and Lamourie, and the research-focused operations at the Louisiana State University Dean Lee Agricultural Center.

Public lands dominate the southwestern portion of the map, where the Kisatchie National Forest and Alexander State Forest provide a contrast to the geometric agricultural plots of Willow Glen and Inglewood. Genealogists will find interest in several country cemeteries, such as Wise Cem and Figgins Cem, alongside historic community centers like Second Union Ch. The map also captures specialized infrastructure, from the Woodworth Landing Strip to the administrative Forest Headquarters.
