1956 Map of Bastrop
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The city of Bastrop serves as the focal point of this mid-1950s survey of Morehouse Parish, anchored by its High School, West Side School, and industrial footprints like the Gas and Oil Field to the north. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Bartholomew Bayou and Chemin-a-Haut Bayou, which frame the agricultural and timbered lowlands. This era captures the transition of the local economy, shown through the expansion of Newblock and the presence of the Arkansas Louisiana Missouri and Missouri Pacific railroads, which facilitated trade between settlements like Mer Rouge and Beekman.
