1972 Map of Alexandria

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Red River divides the urban landscape of central Louisiana, with Alexandria anchoring the southern bank and Pineville the northern. This era shows a community defined by its massive state and regional institutions, from the sprawling campus of Central Louisiana State Hospital and Louisiana College in Pineville to the VA Hospital near Lake Buhlow. To the northeast, the military footprint of Camp Beauregard is prominent, while the river's influence is seen in the extensive levee system and industrial sites like the Alexandria Junc Mill.
