1935 Map of Waverly

USGS Topo · Published 1938

About this map

The Tensas River and its complex network of oxbow lakes and bayous dominate this mid-1930s landscape across Madison Parish, Franklin Parish, and Richland Parish. Settled nodes like Delhi, Waverly, and Quebec line the Illinois Central railroad corridor, while the backswamps are marked by numerous water bodies including Eagle Lake, Africa Lake, and Lost Lake. A notable industrial detail is the abandoned logging railroad snaking through the northern section, a testament to the era's timber extraction before the land was fully converted to agriculture.
