Pins for every mapped area

Large dots mark Kisatchie National Forest and the national wildlife refuges; small dots are WMAs, units, Corps tracts and the Barataria Preserve. Each pin sits on a polygon centroid or a point inside the boundary, so on long, thin areas such as Pearl River or Maurepas Swamp the pin is not a parking spot.

3 places have no pin because no boundary was published for them: Coochie Brake WMA, Catahoula NWMP and Red Dirt NWMP. Their pages still give parishes, rules and the nearest offices.

Wallace Lake is a special case: its point is the lake surface, while the 108-acre hunting area lies at the dam site, so drive to the Corps project office rather than the pin.

Points from the LDWF boundary shapefile (09/26/2025), the USFWS Interest layer, USFS ranger districts, the NPS boundary and the LDWF Federal_Lands layer, as recorded in lands.json. Checked November 4, 2026.

Map questions

Why does a refuge pin sit away from the parking area?

Pins are centroids or interior points of the mapped boundary, not access points; use the refuge or LDWF map PDF for roads and launches.

Which places have no pin?

Coochie Brake WMA, Catahoula NWMP and Red Dirt NWMP.

Can I download the boundaries?

LDWF publishes a WMA boundary shapefile and USFWS and USFS publish refuge and forest layers; the sources are linked on each land page.

Are closed refuges on the map?

No. Rockefeller, Marsh Island and the other closed places are listed on the public land hub instead.

How many places are on the map?

86 of the 89 land pages carry a pin.
