About this map

Union Hill and the surrounding piney woods of central Louisiana appear here during a period of transition for the local timber industry. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Calcasieu River and its numerous tributaries, including Cherry Winche Creek and Masters Creek. Evidence of the region's logging heritage is prominent, with a Logging Railroad grade cutting across the northern sections and connecting with the more established Missouri Pacific Railroad near the settlement of Pawnee. Small rural centers such as Bethel serve as anchors for the community, marked by the presence of Bethel Cem. and the Union Hill Sch. The map also delineates the boundary between Rapides Parish and Allen Parish, following the meandering path of the river and local creeks. This survey provides a look at the rural infrastructure of the mid-1950s, highlighting the network of state highways like State Highway No 113 that began to replace older timber trails.
