About this map

The town of Oberlin serves as the focal point of this 1940s survey, situated at the junction of St Hy No 52 and St Hy No 25. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Calcasieu River to the west and the industrial presence of the Missouri Pacific Railroad cutting diagonally through the parish. This era reveals a transition from heavy timber reliance to early agriculture, evidenced by several Old Logging Railroad Grades that once permeated the woods and the presence of a southern Irrigation Canal.
