The low-lying wetlands of Richland Parish and Franklin Parish define this 1958 survey, where the Boeuf River and Bayou Macon snake through a landscape of dense sloughs and alluvial bottomlands. The Illinois Central railroad cuts a straight line across the northern terrain, anchoring the settlements of Holly Ridge, Dunn, and Delhi. This period reveals an active industrial footprint in the Louisiana backcountry, with the Southwest Delhi Oil Field and South Big Creek Oil Field marked by numerous wells and pipelines alongside the natural drainage of Big Creek.
