1958 Map of Segno

About this map

The Alabama and Coushatti Indian Reservation occupies the northwest portion of this landscape, centered on the Indian Village and surrounded by a dense network of creek drainages including Big Sandy Creek and Menard Creek. This mid-century survey documents a transitional economy where old timber practices, signaled by an Old Railroad Grade and Johnsons Mill Creek, operate alongside the developing energy sector at the Segno Oil Field. The settlement pattern is defined by small, unincorporated communities like Dallardsville and Holly Grove, each anchored by local landmarks such as Sunflower Ch and Magnolia Hill Ch. Fire suppression and resource management are evident through the placement of the Liberty Hill Lookout, while the southern reaches of the map transition into the swampy terrain of Little Pine Island Bayou at the Polk and Hardin County line.
