1959 Map of Grant

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The community of Grant serves as the central point for this mid-century look at the borderlands of Beauregard and Allen Parishes. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Whisky Chitto Creek and Sixmile Creek, which carve through the timbered terrain. This era of settlement is marked by a network of rural hubs, often centered on local gathering places like Arkadelphia Church and Hopewell Church. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family-named burial grounds, including Martin Cemetery and Horton Cemetery. The map also captures infrastructure critical to local land management, such as a Gaging Station on the creek and various Gravel Pits that suggest the primary industries of the period. The absence of major highways highlights the reliance on local roads and natural drainage patterns like Soapstone Creek and Tenmile Creek.
