1957 Map of Zwolle

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Sabine Parish landscape underwent a significant transformation as the waters of the Toledo Bend Reservoir began to reshape the western border of Louisiana. This 1957 survey, with revisions from 1969, captures the region at a pivotal moment when the vast timberlands of the Sabine National Forest met new inundation zones along the Sabine River. The industrial backbone of the area is defined by the Kansas City Southern railroad, which links the settlements of Noble and Zwolle through a terrain dotted with oil wells. Local heritage is anchored by dispersed rural landmarks such as Belmont Sch and the Zwolle Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage network including Bayou La Nana and San Miguel Creek, alongside early infrastructure like the Blue Lookout Tower and Spring Station.
