About this map

The Abandoned Ammunition Depot dominates the northeastern landscape of this mid-1970s survey, a large-scale military installation situated east of Dogwood. The terrain transitions from the developed community of East Camden, featuring a Golf Course and several parks, into the wetlands and bayous characteristic of the Ouachita and Calhoun county line. The map captures a rural economy defined by resource extraction, from the Locust Bayou Oil Field to numerous Gravel Pits and sandpits scattered near Two Bayou.

Genealogical interest is high throughout the rural areas, where historic congregations such as Pleasant Grove Ch, Antioch Ch, and Pilgrim Ch are documented alongside family burial grounds like Furr Cem and Plunkett Cem. The physical legacy of earlier industry is also visible in the Old Railroad Grade cutting through the center of the sheet, while water bodies such as Mustin Lake and Big Johnson Lake anchor the southern lowlands.
