1951 Map of Steep Gully

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Tenmile Creek and Steep Gully cut through this central Louisiana timberland, which is defined by its parish boundaries and a network of logging history. The 1951 landscape reflects a transitional era where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad still operates in the southwest corner near Herbert, while numerous Old Railroad Grades throughout the northern sections reveal the extent of earlier lumber operations. Rural community life is anchored by a cluster of country churches, including Occupy Ch No 1, Occupy Ch No 2, and Shady Grove Ch. Genealogy researchers will find several well-marked burial grounds like Tenmile Cem, West Cem, and Elizabeth Cem. The presence of the Plainview Lookout Tower near Plainview Sch highlights the critical role of fire watch in this forested region where Vernon, Rapides, and Allen Parishes meet.
