1959 Map of Grant

About this map

The settlement of Grant lies at the heart of this landscape, situated along the boundary between Beauregard and Allen Parish. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, most notably Whisky Chitto Creek and Tenmile Creek, which drain the timbered terrain. Small rural congregations and family burial grounds are frequent throughout the region, including Arkadelphia Ch, Hopewell Ch, and Palestine Ch. Genealogy researchers will find several well-defined sites such as Hamilton Cem and Horton Cem near the parish lines. The presence of a Gaging Station and a localized Gravel Pit indicates the minor industrial and hydrologic monitoring active during this mid-century period. The topography is marked by numerous small tributaries like Sixmile Branch and Sugar Creek, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Louisiana piney woods before later 20th-century developments.
