1957 Map of Ashland

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Bienville, Red River, and Natchitoches Parishes converge in this mid-century landscape dominated by a network of bayous and rural timber tracts. The town of Ashland serves as a local hub along the Kansas City Southern railroad, which cuts a northwest-to-southeast path through the terrain. Evidence of the region's industrial and social evolution is visible in the scattered Oil Field operations and the transition of local institutions, including the New Hope Sch and Iron Springs Sch, both noted as abandoned by the late 1950s.
