1986 Map of Oberlin
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
The parish seat of Oberlin and the surrounding piney woods and bottomlands define this mid-1980s landscape. This document captures the transition from the winding course of the Calcasieu River and Whiskey Creek to the industrial agricultural engineering of the Kinder Canal. To the south, the Coushatta Indian Reservation sits near the rural settlement of Lyles, while to the east, the terrain descends toward Bayou Blue. The map reveals the local infrastructure of the era, from the Lookout Tower near Le Jeune to the small rural landing sites like the Landing Strip. Significant for genealogists and local historians, it documents several small settlements including Elder and Le Jeune, alongside local landmarks such as Fish Ponds and a Sewage Disposal Ponds system, reflecting the development of Allen Parish in the late 20th century.
