1951 Map of Summerfield

About this map

Summerfield and Lisbon anchor this mid-century portrait of Claiborne Parish, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Corney Bayou and Bayou D'Arbonne. The 1950s rural character of the region is reflected in its dense network of community landmarks, from the Rocky Springs Ch to the numerous local education sites like Spring Grove Sch and Mt Calm Sch. Settlement patterns follow the higher ground between creek drainages, with small hubs like Arizona and Colquitt connected by a web of unimproved roads and state routes.
