1940 Map of Columbia

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

The Ouachita River snakes through the heart of Caldwell Parish in this early 1940s survey, its tight oxbows creating a complex landscape of lakes and backwaters. The town of Columbia serves as the focal point along the river's western bank, while the Missouri Pacific railroad connects riverside communities like Riverton and Grayson to the lumber interests further south. The timber economy of the era is evident in the presence of the Louisiana Central Lumber Company tracks near Clarks.
