1981 Map of Hughes
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
St Louis Southwestern rail lines cut through the heart of northern Bossier Parish, connecting small rural communities and industrial outposts. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Cypress Bayou and its many tributaries, including Little Cypress Bayou and Collinsburg Creek. Small settlements like Collinsburg, Alden Bridge, and Swindleville are centers of community life, each marked by historical landmarks such as Collinsburg Cem and a high concentration of local churches, including New Hope Ch and Sunflower Ch. Energy production is a visible part of the regional economy, with infrastructure supporting the Benton Oil and Gas Field and the Cottage Grove Oil and Gas Field appearing across the terrain. From Bookers Chapel to Dove Dale Cem, this 1980s record captures the established cultural and industrial geography of the Louisiana backcountry.
