1962 Map of Walker

About this map

Walker and Livingston serve as the primary hubs in this survey of Livingston Parish, where the local economy and movement are defined by the Illinois Central railroad corridor. The landscape is heavily dissected by an intricate network of waterways, most notably Middle Colyell Creek and its various branches, which dictated the placement of early homesteads and community centers. Cultural landmarks such as Plainview Ch and the Walker Lookout Tower stand as reference points for the area's development during the mid-20th century.
