1935 Map of Mittie

About this map

Mittie sits at the heart of this 1935 survey, a landscape defined by the transition from timber extraction to permanent settlement. The presence of an Old Logging Railroad Grade and active Logging Railroad lines indicates the industrial heritage of this portion of Allen Parish, where timber was once the primary economic driver. These transit lines cut across a complex network of waterways, most notably the meandering Whisky Chitto Creek and Bundick Creek. Locally significant landmarks like the Cherry Grove Ch and the Simmons Settlement suggest the social centers of this rural community during the mid-1930s. The map also documents the early state road system, featuring State Highway No 190 and State Highway No 52, which began to modernize travel through the piney woods and bottomlands along Tenmile Creek and Flat Creek.
