About this map

Missouri Pacific railroad lines and heavy timber infrastructure define this mid-century landscape in Allen Parish. The map reveals an area transition, where an extensive network of Old Logging Railroad Grade crisscrosses the terrain, marking the legacy of the local lumber industry. Small settlements such as Ward, Guy, and Richey are situated along the main rail corridor and U. S. Highway No 165, while the rural interior is dotted with local landmarks like Pine Sch and a lone Cem. Drainage for the region is provided by the meandering Calcasieu River and its various tributaries, including Chinquapin Creek and Castor Creek. This survey, compiled from aerial photography, captures the precise alignment of section lines and watercourses like Mitchell Creek and Duplechien Gully during a period of industrial change.
