About this map

The western expansion of Bogalusa and the surrounding piney woods of Washington Parish are documented in this early 1980s topographic study. The city's residential and industrial footprint is visible through the grid of streets like Bogne Ave and Cedar Ave, alongside community pillars such as the Denhamtown School and Westside Church. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Bogue Lusa Creek and its many tributaries, including Ice Water Branch and Coburn Creek.

Rural life north and west of the city center is marked by family-named landmarks and several cemeteries, such as the Sheridan Cemetery and McNeece Cemetery. Resource extraction and land management are evident via the scattered Gravel Pits and the protected acreage of the Dean Lee State Forest. Notable local landmarks from the era include the Sheridan Lookout Tower and a Drive-in Theater located just north of the city limits.
