1968 Map of Beaver

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Beaver serves as the focal point of this rural landscape where the border of Allen Parish and Evangeline Parish winds through timbered lowlands. Photogrammetric data from 1966 reveals a network of watercourses including Cypress Creek, Beaver Creek, and the winding Bayou Marsh. The presence of the Beaver Lookout Tower and the nearby Leger Landing Strip indicates the area's mid-century role in forestry management and local aviation. Genealogy-minded researchers will find several local burial sites, such as Pecan Grove Cem, Beaver Cem, and the Detafosse Cem located in the southeastern corner. The terrain is further defined by drainage features like Earnest Gully and Morris Branch, illustrating the complex hydrology of this central Louisiana region before later development. A modern industrial element is introduced by a pipeline that cuts diagonally across the northern sections of the map.
