1976 Map of Folsom NE

About this map

Bogue and Chitto form the winding riverine spine of this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, where the landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between dense bottomland timber and clear-cut timber tracts or agricultural fields. The imagery reveals the intricate meanders of the watercourse as it moves through Washington Parish, showing the erosion and deposition patterns typical of the Gulf Coastal Plain. Near the upper-left of the sheet, the small settlement of Enon stands as a focal point for the surrounding rural network of roads and forest lands. Unlike a standard topographic map, this photographic record provides a direct view of the land use in 1976, capturing the specific footprints of timber management and rural habitation that defined the area during this era.
