1947 Map of Reeves
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Reeves and the nearby settlement of Bel anchor this mid-century survey of the Allen Parish landscape, situated along the Missouri Pacific and Texas and Mexico Railroad. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages, including the winding course of Clear Creek, Crooked Bayou, and Hurricane Creek. A significant historical layer is revealed through the numerous industrial scars across the land, specifically the remnants of the timber industry shown as an Old Logging Railroad Grade and several stretches of Old Logging Grade. These features suggest a period of intensive resource extraction that preceded the established road network, such as State Highway No 251. The map also captures the political boundary between Beauregard Parish and Allen Parish, providing a clear view of how transit corridors and natural waterways like Mud Creek shaped the early development of this region.
