1947 Map of Longville
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The logging and rail infrastructure of western Louisiana is central to this mid-century topographic study, which shows the landscape as it appeared during a 1935 field examination. Multiple spurs and grades, including Logging Railroad tracks, branch off from the Southern Pacific Railroad to serve the local timber industry. Small rural hubs such as Longville and Ragley are connected by these lines and the developing road network of State Highway No 171. The map documents the scattered social infrastructure of the time, noting the locations of Ridge Ch, Magnolia Ch, and Kernan Sch. Waterways like Barnes Creek and the meandering Hurricane Creek define the drainage patterns of the area, while the Beauregard Parish and Allen Parish line marks the eastern boundary. This document captures the transition of the piney woods from a rail-dominated logging landscape to a more established network of state highways.
