1959 Map of Mitchiner

About this map

Poverty Pt. stands as a significant archaeological landmark in this delta landscape, surrounded by numerous Indian Mounds and earthworks along the meandering Bayou Macon. The settlement patterns here follow the high ground between the bayou and the Tensas Bayou to the east, revealing a rural economy transitioning from traditional river landings like Floyd Ldg and Jackson Ldg to the industrial presence of the Epps Gas Field. The map meticulously records the social centers of the late 1950s, documenting dozens of country congregations such as Evening Star Ch, Magnolia Ch & Sch, and Herringville Ch. Navigation and transport are central themes, from the active Missouri Pacific railroad line through Pioneer and Darnell to the noted Head of Navigation on the bayou, illustrating how these waterways continued to dictate the geography of East Carroll Parish and West Carroll Parish.
