1959 Map of Bogalusa
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The Illinois Central Railroad corridor anchors this 1959 study of the Louisiana-Mississippi borderlands, cutting through Bogalusa and the timber-rich parish interior. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Pearl River and its numerous oxbow lakes, including Manning Lake and Old Jail Lake, which suggest a long history of seasonal flooding and shifting riverbeds. This era shows the community at a height of mid-century development, evidenced by the presence of the Bogalusa Airport, a Drive-in Theater, and Radio Station (WIKC).
