1959 Map of Steep Gully

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The convergence of Vernon, Rapides, and Allen Parishes forms the backbone of this mid-century survey, a landscape defined by its rural community centers and watercourses. Small wood-frame churches and local burial grounds, such as Occupy Ch No 1 and Tenmile Cem, are scattered throughout the wooded terrain, indicating a dispersed but established settlement pattern. The industrial footprint of the era is represented by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor, which cuts diagonally across the landscape near Tenmile Creek. Notable landmarks like the Plainview Lookout Tower and Plainview Sch suggest a geography centered on resource management and local education. The map's network of gullys and branches, including Steep Gully and Hickory Log Gully, illustrates the intricate drainage systems that dictated the placement of early homesteads and transportation routes.
