About this map

Urania and Tullos serve as the primary hubs in this central Louisiana corridor, where the local economy and landscape are shaped by the Tullos Urania Oil Field. The terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the Dugdemona River and Little River, which converge near Rochelle and Grandstaff. Away from the main settlements, the map reveals a history of rural interment and family landholdings, evidenced by scattered sites such as Magnolia Cem, Doughty Cem, and New Union Cem.

Industry and navigation are prominent themes, from the Castor Salt Lick in the northwest to the lookout at Mountain Hill in the southeast. Geographic markers like Pendarvis Landing on Castor Cr indicate historical points of access along the winding creeks. The density of named roads and oil field tracks suggests a landscape intensely utilized for resource extraction while maintaining its traditional rural settlement patterns.
