1946 Map of Leesville
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
The parish seat of Leesville anchors this mid-century survey of Vernon Parish, which illustrates the transition from a timber-heavy economy to a modern rural landscape. Traces of the region's industrial past are visible through an extensive network of an Old Logging Railroad Grade and an Old Logging Railroad, weaving through the piney woods alongside the operational Kansas City Southern line. The settlement pattern reveals the importance of small crossroads communities and family-named landmarks like Hawthorn, Pickering, and Anacoco. Numerous rural institutions, including Pine Grove Sch, Holly Grove Ch, and Milford Ch, provide valuable data points for local historians. Near the town center, Newllano stands out, while the western edge is defined by the historic crossing at Burr Ferry and the expansive drainage of Bayou Anacoco.
