About this map

Long Marsh and the surrounding wetlands define this landscape along the border of Beauregard Parish and Calcasieu Parish. In this 1930s-era field study, the terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses including Indian Creek, Bear Creek, and Cowards Gully. A significant industrial footprint is visible through the Old Logging Railroad Grade, which snakes across the central and western sections of the quadrangle, indicating the region's history with the timber industry. In the southern portion of the map, the Kansas City Southern railroad runs parallel to Kansas City Southern State Highway No. 1, marking a primary transportation corridor near Green Island. The map also captures the headwaters of various streams, such as the Head of Windham Creek, providing a detailed look at the local hydrography before modern drainage or development patterns altered the natural flow of these southern Louisiana marshlands.
