1986 Map of Magnolia

About this map

The Red River creates a meandering natural border along the western edge of this 1980s survey, where the river's dynamic path is marked by remnants like First Old River Lake and 1927 Cut-off Lake. This landscape is defined by the heavy presence of an extensive Oil and Gas Field, signaling the region's industrial backbone across Columbia and Lafayette counties. The terrain moves from the low, wet bottoms of the Sulphur River State Wildlife Management Area toward the rolling interior where Magnolia serves as a primary regional hub.
