About this map

The settlement of Longville and the surrounding piney lowlands of the Beauregard and Allen Parish border are documented here in the mid-1980s. The landscape is defined by its industrial infrastructure and the intricate drainage of the Barnes Creek watershed. The presence of a large Oil Refinery near the eastern boundary and several Natural Gas Compressor Stations underscores the region's reliance on energy production.

Smaller communities like Ragley, Fulton, and Edith are situated along the southern corridor, where a Roadside Park serves travelers near the junction of local transit routes. Water is central to the area's geography, from the recreational Longville Lake in the northwest to the numerous winding waterways like Hurricane Creek, Magnolia Creek, and Boggy Creek. This map preserves the layout of these rural settlements and the industrial sites that sustained them during this era of Louisiana's development.
