1954 Map of Leander

About this map

Fort Polk Military Reservation and the Kisatchie National Forest dominate this mid-century landscape in Central Louisiana. The area is defined by the remnants of the timber industry, shown through several stretches of dismantled railroad that once linked the sawmill town of Fullerton to the outside world. This map captures the region during a transition from intensive logging to military and forest management, where small communities like Lacamp, Leander, and Sieper are connected by a network of rural roads and family-named landmarks.
