1956 Map of Bastrop
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Bastrop serves as the focal point of this North Louisiana landscape, where the town's expansion is documented through photorevised updates following the original mid-century topography. The area is defined by the winding course of Bayou Bartholomew and the extensive marshy depressions of Bussy Brake and Handy Brake. The map reveals a transition from the industrial activity of the Gas and Oil Field near Beekman to the recreational development at Chemin-a-Haut State Park. Local life is anchored by a dense network of country institutions, including Cherry Ridge Sch and Washington Chapel. Transportation is dominated by the rail corridors of the Missouri Pacific and the Arkansas Louisiana and Missouri, which connect settlements like Mer Rouge and Galion (Gallion PO) to the regional timber and agricultural economy.
