1942 Map of Rio
USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
The Bogue Chitto River meanders through the southern half of this landscape, its path defined by complex waterways like Dead Lake, Sandy Slough, and Crooked Bayou. During this era in the early 1940s, the rural border between Washington Parish and St Tammany Parish was a network of small settlements and family landmarks. The Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad serves as a central artery, passing through Rio and past Stein. Genealogy interests are well-served by numerous burial grounds, including the Old Magee Cem, Galloway Cem, and Reviere Cem. Education and faith centers like the Rosenwald Sch, Isabel Sch, and Jerusalem Ch anchor the community, while the landscape shows evidence of local industry at the Old Gravel Pits near the riverbanks.
