1935 Map of Lecompte
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Lecompte and Cheneyville anchor this mid-1930s landscape, illustrating a transition from the dense swamp and slough network of the Red River valley to an active agricultural and transport corridor. The region's development follows the dual paths of rail and water, with the Texas and Pacific RR and Missouri Pacific RR paralleling ancient bayous like Boeuf Bayou. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of central Louisiana before mid-century modernization, noting numerous family and community landmarks such as Rocky Hill Cem, Meeker Cem, and Union Chapel.
