1957 Map of Alexandria
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Alexandria and its neighbor Pineville dominate the landscape in this mid-century portrait of Central Louisiana, where the Red River separates the dense grid of the parish seat from the academic and institutional grounds to the northeast. The map documents an era of significant institutional presence, ranging from Camp Beauregard and the Central Louisiana State Hospital to Louisiana College and the V Hospital. These centers of activity, alongside numerous parish schools like Bolton High Sch and Peabody High Sch, define the region's social structure during the 1950s.
