1960 Map of Guy

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Missouri Pacific railroad cuts a straight line through this section of Louisiana, connecting the small settlements of Ward, Guy, and Foley. This 1960 revision documents a landscape defined by its waterways, most notably the meandering Calcasieu River and the intricate drainage networks of Castor Creek, Mitchell Creek, and Curtis Creek. Local heritage is preserved in the naming of several family-affiliated landmarks, including McGee Cem, Deshotel Cem, and the Durose Cem. Religious life in the area is anchored by McGee Mission and St Johns Chapel, while the industrial footprint of the mid-20th century is evident through several Oil Wells and a distributed network of Pumping Sta facilities. The transition from the alluvial flats of Blue Bayou to the dissected gullies like Merry Gully reflects the varied terrain of the Allen Parish region during this era.
