1939 Map of Fort Necessity

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

Boeuf River and its dense network of tributaries define this 1939 landscape at the borders of Richland, Caldwell, and Franklin Parishes. The map reveals a rural economy heavily reliant on river crossings and small local institutions, with numerous ferries such as Duchene Ferry and Hudson Ferry still providing vital transit across the meandering waterways. A notable concentration of social infrastructure is visible, including the Rosenwald Sch, reflecting the era's investment in education for rural communities. The small settlements of Fort Necessity and Liddieville serve as inland anchors amidst a terrain marked by bayous and seasonal wetlands like Bushy Lagoon. The presence of the Gold Mine in Richland Parish provides an intriguing localized industrial detail, while churches such as Sims Ch and Pilgrim Rest Ch highlight the scattered nature of community life during the late 1930s.
