1948 Map of Jamestown

About this map

Deep piney woods and agricultural clearings define this portion of the Webster Parish Bienville Parish line during the mid-century. The landscape is heavily influenced by the extraction economy of the Lucky Gas Field, where numerous gas and oil wells are connected by an expanding Pipeline network. Central to the topography is Kepler Creek Lake, a significant water body fed by Kepler Creek and Black Bayou. The Louisiana and Arkansas Railway serves as the primary industrial artery, passing through the southern settlement of Castor.
