1972 Map of Lecompte

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Alexander State Forest dominates the northwestern terrain of this Rapides Parish region, where the Indian Creek Reservoir and a State Fish Hatchery suggest a landscape managed for both timber and water resources. The town of Lecompte serves as the primary hub, situated at the junction of the Texas and Pacific and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads. This transportation corridor follows the path of Bayou Boeuf, illustrating how the rail lines were engineered to capitalize on the natural drainage and flat topography of the alluvial plain.
