About this map

Grambling College and the growing city of Ruston anchor the southern landscape of this mid-century survey, illustrating a period of significant educational and infrastructure expansion in Lincoln Parish. The Illinois Central and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads intersect at Ruston, which serves as a central hub for the surrounding timber and agricultural lands. Northward, the terrain is marked by smaller settlements like Dubach and Vienna, interspersed with numerous country schools such as Woody Sch and Macedonia Sch that once served these rural communities.
