About this map

The Calcasieu River and its meandering tributaries, including Curtis Creek and Gum Branch, define the landscape of Allen Parish in the mid-20th century. This survey, revised in the early 1990s, documents a transition from rural timber and farming lands to industrial utility, evidenced by several Pumping Sta locations and a prominent Pipeline corridor. Small communities such as Ward, Guy, and Foley anchor the road networks, while the remnants of older transport are found at the Old RR Br crossing.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several family-named burial grounds, including McGee Cem, Reed Cem, and Deshotel Cem. The presence of the McGee Mission and the Paris Airport further illustrate the cultural and infrastructure development in this corner of Louisiana. To the southwest, a Golf Course and several Oil Wells indicate the diverse land use near Chinquapin and Bayou Blue.
