1947 Map of Knight
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Knight serves as the central hub of this West Louisiana landscape, situated near the intersection of early transportation routes and parish boundaries. Compiled from 1935 field examinations, the map illustrates an economy tied to the timber industry, marked by the presence of a Logging Railroad and an Old Railroad Grade cutting north-to-south across the terrain. These rail lines, once vital for moving pine from the surrounding forests, intersect with early motor routes like State Highway No 512.
