1954 Map of Sieper

About this map

Clifton Crossing and the small settlement of Sieper anchor this mid-century portrait of the piney woods near the boundary of Vernon Parish and Rapides Parish. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Calcasieu River and its numerous tributaries, including Comrade Creek and Cypress Bayou. A significant piece of industrial history is visible in the form of a dismantled railroad that snakes through the center of the sheet, tracing a path once used for the region's timber commerce. Local life is centered around rural landmarks such as Pisgah Church, Twin-Oak Church, and Big Hammock Church. Genealogists will find value in the specific locations of family-named sites like Marshall Cemetery, Burns Cemetery, and Smith Cemetery, which remain as quiet indicators of the area's early twentieth-century residents.
