1957 Map of Alexandria

About this map

Alexandria and Pineville sit at the center of this 1957 survey, where the Red River separates the dense urban grid of the Rapides Parish seat from its sister city to the northeast. The map reveals an area defined by significant institutional and military footprints, including the sprawling Camp Beauregard and the extensive grounds of the Central Louisiana State Hospital. Beyond the city limits, the terrain transitions into the heavily wooded Kisatchie National Forest, which dominates the northern portion of the quadrangle.
