1941 Map of Boyce
USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
The Red River snakes through the heart of Rapides Parish, defining a landscape of alluvial plantations and upland forests just before the mid-century. This 1941 survey details a complex social geography where the river and rail lines—the Texas and Pacific Railroad and Louisiana and Arkansas Railway—dictated the placement of communities like Boyce and Zimmerman. The transition from the fertile lowlands of Fairmount Plantation and Village Plantation to the timbered heights of the Kisatchie National Forest Catahoula Division is marked by a dense network of country institutions. Numerous segregated and community centers appear, such as Little Rock Ch & Sch and Israelite Ch Sch & Cem, while the burgeoning infrastructure of the era is evidenced by the Alexandria Municipal Airport and the sprawling grounds of the Central Hospital For Insane near Graham.
