1955 Map of Plain Dealing
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Plain Dealing serves as the central hub of this northern Bossier Parish landscape, situated at the intersection of the St Louis Southwestern railroad and several local roads. The mid-century economy is clearly defined by extensive energy extraction, with the Plain Dealing Oil Field, Redland Oil and Gas Field, and Sarepta Gas and Oil Field dominating the township grids. Beyond the industrial zones, the area is heavily dotted with rural community markers such as Old Rock Spring Ch, Elizabeth Sch, and the Rocky Mount Cem. To the west, Delaney Mt rises near the parish line, while the eastern border is defined by the winding course of Bodcau Bayou. The map also captures the transition of transportation, noting an Old Railroad Grade and the Crossway through the southern bottoms, illustrating how local travel patterns evolved around the bayous and oil fields.
