1954 Map of Tullos

About this map

The lumber and rail corridors of Central Louisiana define this 1950s landscape, where the Missouri Pacific and Louisiana and Arkansas railroads intersect at Tullos. This era shows a region shaped by industrial transport, with the Urania Lumber Co railroad lines branching deep into the timberlands. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Kisatchie National Forest, intersected by the Little River. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous family-named landmarks and rural congregations, such as Old Shady Grove Ch and Zion Hill Ch. Many small cemeteries like James Cem and Nelson Cem are plotted alongside creeks such as Beech Creek and Castor Creek, providing a detailed view of the settlement patterns across the Winn Parish, Caldwell Parish, La Salle Parish, and Grant Parish boundaries during a period of active rail operations.
