1965 Map of Elm Park

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Rosedown Plantation and Cottage Plantation anchor this mid-1960s survey of the West Feliciana Parish landscape, where the legacies of the plantation era remain etched into the topography. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages like Alexander Creek and Grants Bayou that feed toward the Mississippi River. The presence of the Illinois Central railroad and industrial Gravel Pits near Thompson Creek illustrates the mid-century transition from purely agricultural roots to a mixed economy. For genealogists, the map is remarkably detailed, noting specific family-named landmarks such as Locust Grove Cem and Butler Cem, alongside community hubs like the Rosenwald Sch and the Mt Pilgrim Ch. Audubon Memorial State Park serves as a central landmark within this region of deep ravines and complex bayou forks.
