1971 Map of Elmer

About this map

Kisatchie National Forest dominates this section of Rapides Parish, where the timberlands are intersected by numerous drainages and family-named landmarks. The landscape in the early 1970s shows a mix of small rural settlements like Elmer and Otis connected by a network of backroads and an Old Railroad Grade that traces through the western half of the quadrangle. Significant water features include the Kincaid Reservoir in the northeast and Valentine Lake, which supports the Valentine Recreational Area and North Shore Campground. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably detailed regarding community cornerstones, labeling several rural churches such as Fellowship Ch and New Sunrise Ch, alongside family cemeteries like Marler Cem, Rougeau Cem, and Swann Cem. Industrial footprints are visible through several gravel pits and a large Pipeline corridor.
