About this map

Latt Lake and its surrounding wetlands dominate the southern landscape of this 1932 survey, marking a low-lying region at the intersection of Grant and Winn Parishes. The map reveals a complex hydraulic network of drainage and transport in central Louisiana, where Latt Creek and numerous bayous, including Wild Prong and Parasol, carve through the terrain. Human settlement is sparse but deliberate, clustered around vital community institutions such as Oak Grove School and Latt Church. The transition from early automobile travel is evident in the presence of State Route 5 and State Route 167, which provide the primary north-south corridors through this heavily wooded and marshy area. This sheet was compiled from aerial photographs by the Army Air Corps, reflecting the modernization of surveying techniques used to document the rural South between the wars.
