1988 Map of Bastrop
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
Bastrop serves as the focal point of this northeast Louisiana survey, shown during a period of significant municipal and industrial definition. The town is flanked by a complex hydrologic network, most notably the expansive Bussy Brake and the meandering Bartholomew Bayou that snakes through the western landscape. The presence of a dedicated Gas Field to the west and the Morehouse Memorial Airport to the southeast illustrates the post-war industrial and transportation infrastructure that supported the parish. Smaller outlying settlements such as Sheltons, Newblock, and Pt Pleasant provide critical points of reference for genealogists tracking local family histories in Morehouse Parish. The terrain is defined by its low-lying wetlands, including Thorny Brake, Squeeler Brake, and Mayhaw Slough, which highlight the traditional challenges and characteristics of the Bayou State landscape.
