1965 Map of Springfield

About this map

Livingston and Springfield anchor this mid-1960s study of the Louisiana lowlands, where the Tickfaw River and Blood River wind toward Lake Maurepas. The map captures a unique cultural landscape in the Hungarian Settlement north of Albany, alongside numerous rural landmarks like the Albany-Springfield High Sch and the Springville Lookout Tower. Navigation remains central to the area's geography, with various points marked as the Head of Navigation and several historic landings preserved, including Warsaw Landing and Tiger Bluff Landing. The intricate water network is defined by island formations like Steam Island and Jack Island, and extensive wetlands such as Gum Swamp and Bull Run Swamp. Local genealogy is well-represented through family-named sites like Smiley Cem, Davidson Cem, and the church at St Margarets Ch.
