1981 Map of Shongaloo
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The Shongaloo Oil and Gas Field and its surrounding extraction sites dominate this northwest Louisiana landscape, illustrating a late-twentieth-century economy built on petroleum and timber. The map documents two distinct centers of local life: the primary settlement of Shongaloo and the nearby Old Shongaloo, which remains anchored by the Old Shongaloo Cem. To the southwest, the Shongaloo Lookout Tower provides a vertical landmark near numerous Gravel Pits, while Bayou Dorcheat meanders through the bottomlands. Genealogy researchers will find several well-established country churches and family-named burial grounds, including Haynes Cem, Hudson Cem, and Saints Rest Ch. The network of roads and pipelines connecting the Haynesville Oil and Gas Field to the Cotton Valley Oil and Gas Field reflects the heavy industrial footprint etched into the wooded terrain and creek valleys.
