About this map

The Bogue Chitto River defines the southwestern corner of this Washington Parish landscape, captured just before the United States entered the Second World War. This interior region of Louisiana is characterized by a dense network of creek branches, including Thigpen Creek and Lawrence Creek, which historically supported a landscape of timber and rural homesteads. Small rural hubs such as Springhill and Pine Cliff are mapped alongside the Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad line, showing the importance of rail transport to the local economy during the early 1940s.
