The Missouri Pacific railroad anchors the central transport corridor of West Carroll Parish in this 1958 survey, connecting the rural communities of Kilbourne, Oak Grove, and Forest. This agricultural landscape is defined by the winding course of Macon Bayou and its complex system of tributaries, including Tiger Bayou and Colewa Bayou. The map reveals a dense network of local landmarks essential to mid-century rural life, from the Fiske Union Sch and Lanes Ferry to numerous country churches like St Clemith Ch and Bethlehem Ch. The terrain transitions into the forested wetlands of East Carroll Parish to the east, marked by features such as Cypress Brake and Cockspur Lake. Genealogists will find the locations of the New Forest Cem and Lone Star Cem particularly useful for tracing family roots in this corner of Northeast Louisiana.
