About this map

Fullerton and East Fullerton stand at the southern edge of this mid-century survey, centered on the lumber and rail operations of the Kisatchie National Forest. The landscape is defined by the winding Calcasieu River and an extensive network of industrial transportation, including the Louisiana And Gulf Railroad and several unnamed Logging Railroad spurs. These routes, along with an Old Logging Grade and the Military Grade, suggest a region transitioning from active timber harvesting to more established rural settlements.

Local life is marked by numerous family and community landmarks, such as Floctaw Sch, Mt Moriah Ch, and the Doyle Cem. Smaller communities like Leander, Sieper, and Hineston are situated along the eastern boundary, connected by secondary roads that cross the river at Price Crossing. The prevalence of named water features like Tenmile Creek and Cypress Bayou highlights the importance of the river drainage system to the parish geography.
