1954 Map of Rosepine

About this map

Rosepine sits at the heart of this mid-century survey, positioned along the Kansas City Southern line and Highway No 171. The landscape is defined by the heavy footprint of the timber industry, marked by a dense network of transit including the Big Railroad, an Old Logging Railroad, and various unnamed grades. These routes crisscross the terrain between Bayou Anacoco and Flat Branch, illustrating the intensive extraction of the region's pine forests before the era of modern reforestation.
