1957 Map of Columbia
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
The Ouachita River snakes through Caldwell Parish in this mid-century survey, defining the industrial and civic life of Columbia and its surrounding river-bottom communities. A heavy reliance on rail and water transport is evident as the Missouri Pacific railroad parallels the river's western bank, connecting the timber-rich area around Clarks and Grayson to the parish seat. The map provides a detailed view of local infrastructure just before major landscape shifts, showing the complex levee systems designed to manage seasonal flooding near Horseshoe Lake and Eagle Lake.
