1954 Map of Tullos

About this map

Tullos and Urania serve as central nodes for a landscape defined by timber and rail in the mid-1950s. The region is heavily integrated with the industrial movements of the Tremont and Gulf and Louisiana and Arkansas railroads, which crisscross the territory to connect small settlements like Rochelle and Georgetown. Significant portions of the southwestern quadrant fall within the Kisatchie National Forest, while the north is drained by Beech Creek and Castor Creek. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous family-named burial sites such as James Cem, McBroom Cem, and Shiloh Cem. The presence of Oil Wells near Georgetown and several electrical substations highlights the mid-century industrial development and utility infrastructure supporting these rural Louisiana communities during this era of growth.
