1959 Map of Haaswood

About this map

The West Pearl River meanders through a dense network of bayous and islands along the Louisiana and Mississippi border, defining the landscape of this 1959 survey. The area is marked by numerous family and community landmarks, including Rousseaux Cem, Oak Grove Cem, and Porters Cem, which reflect the local genealogy of the river-bottom settlements. At the edge of the wetlands, the Southern Railway System cuts across the terrain near Haaswood, providing a glimpse into the mid-century transportation network that linked these small communities. The map highlights a river-based economy and way of life, with numerous landings like Porters River Landing and Davis Landing dotting the banks of the complex waterways, including Steamboat Slough and Doubloon Bayou. Small centers like Logtown and Gainesville stand as anchors in this labyrinth of swamps and hammocks.
