USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Amelia sits at a critical junction of rail and river in the mid-1960s, where the Southern Pacific railroad crosses the winding Bayou Boeuf. The landscape is a complex network of waterways and industrial infrastructure, dominated by the East Lake Palourde Oil and Gas Field and the Amelia Gas Field. These energy interests are overlaid upon an older geography of cypress-tupelo swamps and natural levees, evidenced by an Indian Mound near Bayou Black and local landmarks like the St Andrews Cem and Milton Water Tank Cem.
