About this map

Pollock and the surrounding timberlands of the Kisatchie National Forest anchor this mid-1930s survey of central Louisiana. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Little River, which forms the boundary between Grant and La Salle Parishes. The regional economy is clearly marked by the infrastructure of the Missouri Pacific RR and the Louisiana and Arkansas RR, which serviced industrial sites like the mill at Fishville.

Genealogists can trace a dense network of family-named landmarks including Stark Cem, Chalkhill Cem, and Mc Kay Cem. Small communities like Selma and Zenoria appear alongside local institutions such as Andalusia Ch and Thayer Sch. Strategic infrastructure of the era, from the Catanoula Lookout Tower to the Walker Ferry, provides a clear view of rural life before mid-century modernization transformed the parish backroads.
