About this map

Nickel sits at a focal point of rural crossroads and industrial access in this LaSalle Parish landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, most notably the winding course of Bayou Funny Louis and its numerous tributaries like Salty Cr and Buck Cr. The southern portion of the map is punctuated by Bald Hill, while the surrounding lowlands are marked by several family and community burial grounds, including Antioch Cem and Wilbanks Cem.

A notable characteristic of the area during this period is the development of industrial infrastructure, evidenced by numbered routes such as Industrial Park 4 and Industrial Park Road 3. These modern additions contrast with the more traditional settlement patterns found near Mount Zion Cem and Randall Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the local road network, including family-named ways like Eubanks Rd and Rainey Arena Rd, which offer clues to 21st-century land ownership and community structure.
