1954 Map of Chopin

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Cane River flows along the northern edge of this Louisiana landscape, where the Texas & Pacific RR connects the riverside settlements of Chopin and Galbraith. This mid-century survey reveals a transition from the river valley into the timber-heavy terrain of the Kisatchie National Forest and the Dough Hills. A complex network of log transport is evident in the presence of dismantled railroads and several logging camps, including Zimmerman Camp. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by a variety of family and community landmarks, from the Mors School and Spanish Branch Church to isolated burial grounds like Calvert Cem and Knight Cem. The map captures the rural structure of the region just before significant changes in local infrastructure, noting several settlements like Flatwoods and Gorum situated along the boundary of the Natchitoches Parish and Rapides Parish line.
