1956 Map of Forest Hill

About this map

Kisatchie National Forest and Alexander State Forest dominate the central and eastern portions of this mid-century survey, creating a landscape defined by timber and public lands. In the southeast corner, the towns of Forest Hill and Longleaf sit along the Missouri Pacific railroad, serving as hubs for local commerce. Smaller communities like Elmer and Melder are connected by a network of rural roads that cross numerous watercourses, including Castor Creek and Boggy Bayou.
