1949 Map of Basile
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
The town of Basile serves as the central hub of this 1949 survey, situated at the crossroads of several Louisiana parishes. The map captures a landscape defined by its intricate water systems, where the meandering course of Bayou Nezpique forms a natural boundary to the west, while Bayou des Cannes and Barwick Bayou cut through the eastern prairie. This area shows a transition from agricultural land to marshy lowlands, underscored by the presence of the Mamou Canal and the Kaplan Pump Sta, which highlight the importance of water management and irrigation to the local economy during the mid-20th century.
