About this map

Ruston serves as the focal point of this North Louisiana landscape, where the Illinois Central RR and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific RR intersect. This rail junction defined the region's mid-century growth, supporting nearby Grambling and the expanding campus of Grambling College. The terrain is characterized by the complex drainage of Bayou D'Arbonne and Choudrant Creek, which carved the surrounding hills into a network of small farming and timber communities like Dubach and Choudrant.
