The 1875 Cram's Rail Road & Township Map of Louisiana and the 1879 Rand, McNally & Co.'s Business Atlas Map of Louisiana show the location as "Carpenter's" and "Carpenters" (respectively) between Bee Bayou and Delhi, Louisiana, east of modern-day Rayville in northeastern Richland Parish.[4][5][6] The 1897 Rand, McNally & Co.'s New Business Atlas Map of Louisiana places "Carpenters" between Callaway and Delhi.[7]
The railroad serving the community in 1879 was the Louisiana & Texas R. R.[5] and in 1897 the Shreveport & Pacific R. R.[7]
