1957 Map of West Monroe North

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Bayou D'Arbonne and the Ouachita River converge north of West Monroe and Monroe, defining a landscape where river bottomlands meet developing urban residential grids. In the mid-1950s, the area shows significant expansion northward from the city centers, with newer neighborhoods like Kirili Woods appearing alongside established landmarks such as the Golf Course and Forsythe Park. To the west, the terrain becomes more rural and wooded, dotted with numerous small community centers and country churches including Goodhope Ch, Dean Chapel, and Chapel Hill Ch. Researchers can trace the path of the Illinois Central Gulf railroad as it skirts the southern edge of town, while industrial sites and resource extraction are visible at the various Pits near the river. Significant local genealogy resources appear across the sheet, from the large Hasley Cem to smaller family burial grounds like Nash Cem and Drew Cem.
