About this map

The Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant dominates the center of this landscape, its structured facility layout and network of service roads contrasting with the surrounding bayous and farmland. Situated along the Bossier Parish Webster Parish line, the area reflects a mix of military presence, resource extraction, and rural community life. The northern section is marked by the Bellevue and Gas Field, while the southern reaches feature the industrial operations of a Gravel Pit.

Infrastructure is anchored by the Illinois Central Gulf railroad, which runs through the settlement of Doyline. For those researching family history, the map identifies several small community landmarks including Allen Town Cem, Jim Davis Cem, and New Hope Ch. The terrain is defined by natural waterways such as Clarke Bayou and Pigeon Roost Bayou, which weave through the wooded areas surrounding Haughton and Goodwill.
