1954 Map of Pujo

About this map

Anacoco Bayou forms the winding northern boundary of this landscape, separating Vernon and Beauregard Parishes. The area is defined by its transition from timber production to established rural communities, evidenced by the extensive network of the Old Logging Railroad Grade that crisscrosses the terrain. These abandoned routes indicate the heavy logging activity that preceded the mid-century settlement patterns seen here, where small spiritual centers like Damascene Ch and Cooper Ch serve the local population near the U S Highway No 190 corridor.
