1981 Map of Plain Dealing
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Plain Dealing anchors the southern portion of this northern Louisiana landscape, where the local economy in the early 1980s is defined by a dense network of resource extraction and rural community centers. The St Louis Southwestern railroad runs through the heart of the settlement, passing near Antrim and Bolinger. This era shows significant industrial activity throughout the parish, marked by numerous Oil Wells, Gravel Pits, and a Sandpit, particularly near the Redland and Gas Field. Rural life is centered around local congregations and family landmarks, including Israelite Ch, Union Chapel, and the Caldwell Cem. Water features such as Lake Plain Dealing, Lake Dogwood, and Cypress Bayou provide a contrast to the industrial footprint of the timber and energy sectors.
