1959 Map of Buckeye

About this map

Catahoula Lake dominates the northwest corner of this Central Louisiana landscape, where the shifting boundaries of Grant, Rapides, LaSalle, and Catahoula Parishes meet. The terrain is a complex network of bayous and sloughs, including Alligator Bayou and Camels Slough, punctuated by prairies like Catfish Prairie and Vasher Prairie. In 1959, the region supported numerous small rural communities and family-centered landmarks, such as Buckeye, Deville, and Holloway. Genealogists may find value in the many documented places of worship and burial, including Bethel Ch, Marthas Chapel, and the Paul Cem. Industrial footprints are evident through several petroleum developments like the Cypress Bayou Oil Field and the North Saline Lake Oil Field, while remnants of former infrastructure appear as an Old Railroad Grade cutting through the woodlands near Long Prairie.
