1954 Map of Leesville
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Leesville serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, showing the city's expansion during the post-war years alongside the sprawling waters of Anacoco Lake. The geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Bayou Anacoco, East Anacoco Creek, and West Anacoco Creek, which carve through the Vernon Parish landscape. Civil infrastructure is prominently marked, from the Kansas City Southern rail line to several health and education facilities like the J B Younger Infirmary, War Memorial Hospital, and Saint Michaels School. The mapping of numerous rural institutions, such as Pine Hill Church, White Park Church, and the Leonidas Polk Memorial Church, provides a clear view of the social fabric of the era. Evidence of previous industrial eras appears in the form of several segments of Dismantled railroad that crisscross the terrain north of the city.
