1951 Map of Bertrandville

About this map

The Mississippi River and its accompanying industrial and agricultural landscape dominate the eastern edge of this 1950s survey, while the vast wetlands of the West Bank define the interior. The contrast between the riverine corridor and the deep marsh is sharp, marked by a series of named plantations and settlements like Bertrandville, Promised Land, and Oakville clustered along the levee. This period reveals a landscape transitioning through mid-century infrastructure projects, including the Intracoastal Waterway and the expansion of drainage features such as the Concession Canal. Inland, the map captures the community of Crown Point near the junction of Bayou des Familles and Bayou Barataria. These waterways, coupled with the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads, highlight the vital transport networks that supported the region's river-and-bayou economy before modern highway dominance. Local institutions including St Johns Ch and the Woodlawn Sch provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research.
