1957 Map of Montgomery
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
The Red River and its winding oxbows dominate this mid-century portrait of Central Louisiana, where the border of Natchitoches and Winn Parishes follows the shifting water. The settlement at Montgomery sits as a central hub, flanked by the Kansas City Southern railroad and several country churches like Mt Vernon Ch and Union Grove Ch. The landscape is a complex network of bayous and lakes, including the elongated Cane River Lake and the secluded Hertcog Swamp. Numerous small schools and parochial landmarks, such as St Matthews Sch and St Josephs Sch, suggest a rural population deeply tied to local parishes and townships. This survey captures the region after aerial revisions in the late 1950s, documenting the intricate drainage patterns of the Kisatchie National Forest and the river-bottom economy of Cloutierville and Melrose.
