About this map

Marion serves as a primary hub in this Union Parish landscape during the mid-1950s, where rural life is defined by a dense network of country churches and small family settlements. Communities such as Haile and Linville are mapped in detail alongside numerous spiritual landmarks like Lingrove Ch, Liberty Ch, and St Pauls Ch. The eastern half of the map is dominated by the intricate hydrology of the Ouachita River basin, characterized by a complex system of backwater brakes and landings, including Alabama Landing and Shiloh Landing.

Industrial activity and transit are evident through the Missouri Pacific Railroad, which connects the northern reaches near Litroe and Bemis to the larger regional economy. Local history is preserved in the locations of Abstent Cem and Reppond Cem, while the Linville Lookout Tower provides a focal point for forestry management. The presence of numerous gravel pits near Gravel and Dean highlights the extraction industry that supported local road development during this era.
