1972 Map of Buckeye

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Buckeye and Deville anchor this landscape where the undulating terrain of Little Prairie and Long Prairie meets the complex drainage systems of Big Creek and Big Bayou. The area is characterized by a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Newell Cem, Paul Cem, Slocum Cem, and Hopewell Cem, which reflect the localized settlement patterns of eastern Rapides Parish. Religious centers like Big Island Ch and World Harvest Tabernacle served these rural clusters, while the presence of an Oil Field and several Pipeline routes highlights the region's industrial integration during the late 20th century. Along the eastern edge, the topography transitions toward the low-lying wetlands of the Big Island area, where Big Island Bayou and Coles Island Bayou intersect the Rapides Parish and Avoyelles Parish line.
