1976 Map of Bogalusa SE

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Bogalusa and its surrounding riverine landscape are documented in this mid-1970s orthophoto, which uses aerial imagery to show the physical footprint of the city alongside the natural world. The eastern half of the map is dominated by the winding course of the Pearl River, which serves as the boundary between Louisiana and Mississippi. The tight, serpentine meanders of the river channel suggest a low-lying floodplain, where oxbows and swampy depressions are visible through the dense tree cover. In contrast to the heavy vegetation of the river bottomlands, the developed areas of Bogalusa appear as a clear grid of streets and industrial sites, providing a direct visual comparison between the town's expansion and the persistent wilderness of the Pearl River basin.
