1971 Map of Woodworth West

About this map

Woodworth and its surrounding piney woods were documented in the early 1970s as a landscape defined by timber, water management, and military proximity. The vast acreage of the Kisatchie National Forest covers the majority of the terrain, punctuated by features like Castor Plunge and the Magnolia Recreation Area. Along the southern border, the legacy of World War II remains visible in the U S Air Force Gunnery Range (Camp Claiborne). Water is central to this geography, from the Kincaid Reservoir at the northwest corner to the intricate network of Boeuf Bayou and the man-made Diversion Channel. The map captures local infrastructure including the Woodworth Landing Strip, numerous Gravel Pits, and an old RR Grade, while cemeteries such as Alexandria Memorial Gardens and Sunrise Memorial Gardens provide critical points of interest for genealogists.
