1960 Map of Guy

About this map

The Missouri Pacific railroad cuts a straight line through this Allen Parish landscape, connecting the small settlements of Guy, Ward, and Foley amidst a network of creek bottoms and timbered tracts. The land is defined by the winding course of the Calcasieu River and its many tributaries, including Mitchell Creek and Castor Creek. This survey reveals a deeply rooted community structure, evidenced by the distribution of numerous family and church burial grounds such as McGee Cem, Reed Cem, and Durose Cem. Religious life is anchored by St Johns Chapel and the McGee Mission, while the presence of several Pumping Sta and an Oil Well indicate the importance of the local petroleum industry during the mid-century. The map also records the location of Chinquapin, providing a detailed look at the rural Louisiana topography before further modern development changed the character of these small parishes.
