1958 Map of Pine Grove

About this map

The Amite River meanders through the heart of this mid-century landscape, defining the boundary between East Baton Rouge Parish and Livingston Parish. In the western reaches, Greenwell Springs Sanatorium stands near an ancient Indian Mound, marking a layer of much older human presence. Small settlements like Dennis Mills and Grangeville are connected by a network of rural roads, while the southern edge of the map shows the emerging development of Denham Springs and Walker. Long-established community life is visible through the many country churches and family burial grounds, such as Donald Chapel and Mullens Cem. The landscape reveals a transition from the Illinois Central rail corridor in the south to the more remote timber and agricultural lands of the north, where an Old Railroad Grade suggests the legacy of earlier logging operations.
