1939 Map of Red Gum

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Ferriday serves as the central hub of this 1939 survey of Concordia Parish, where the intersection of the Missouri Pacific Railroad, Texas and Pacific Railroad, and Louisiana and Arkansas Railway defines the local economy. The landscape is a complex network of waterways, dominated by the sweeping curves of the Mississippi River and the oxbow Lake Concordia. Smaller settlements like Clayton, Frogmore, and St Genevieve are linked by these rail lines and early state routes, reflecting a rural society built on the fertile soils between the Tensas River and Cocodrie Bayou.
