1957 Map of West Monroe South

About this map

Cheniere Brake dominates the western half of this map, a labyrinth of cypress swamps and open water including Pucketts Lake and Little Lake. This hydrological network defines the local geography, with named landmasses like Pine Island and Joes Island rising above the swamp floor. To the east, the urban expansion of West Monroe and Brownville is visible in purple revision tinting, showing the mid-century growth toward the Ouachita River. Rural life is anchored by a network of local institutions, including Woodlawn Sch and Pleasant Hill Ch further south. The Illinois Central railroad cuts through the terrain, connecting the industrial outskirts of Bawcomville with smaller landings and settlements like Summit and Lapine. Genealogists will find value in the specific placement of the Old Sardis Cem and New Sardis Cem near Rawls Branch.
