1945 Map of Waskom
USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
The Texas and Pacific railroad corridor defines the development of this border region during the mid-1940s, anchoring the community of Waskom and the nearby siding at Lorraine. This survey highlights a dense network of rural infrastructure along the state line, where the landscape is divided between Harrison County, Panola County, and Caddo Parish. A significant portion of the western sheet remains an Unsurveyed Area, contrasting sharply with the detailed plotting of local thoroughfares like Forest Park Road and Brickhouse Road. Local life centers around numerous small educational and spiritual hubs, from Spring Hill Sch to the Do Right Chapel. The terrain transitions from the heights of Pleasant Hill down toward the drainage of Paw Paw Bayou and Boggy Bayou, illustrating the topographic character of the Piney Woods at the Texas-Louisiana threshold.
