1952 Map of Farmerville

About this map

Farmerville sits at the confluence of the Bayou D'Arbonne and Corney Bayou, serving as the primary hub in a landscape defined by its timber and oil interests during the early 1950s. The northern portion of the region is characterized by industrial activity within the Truxno Oil Field and the preservation of natural space at Donaghey State Park along the state line. For those researching family history, the map provides a dense network of rural landmarks, including the Old Tennessee Cem and dozens of country churches such as Jerusalem Ch and Sweet Lily Ch. This era shows a settled interior before modern developments, where the local economy relied on the creek systems like Little Loutre Bayou and numerous small settlements such as Laran and Marion that functioned as community centers for the surrounding farmsteads.
