1948 Map of Bunkie
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Bunkie serves as the central hub of this late 1940s landscape, where the agricultural traditions of the Louisiana prairie meet the growing industrial footprint of the Ville Platte Oil Field and the Standard Oil Co Pumping Plant. The map reveals a complex network of waterways, including Bayou Boeuf and the Bayou Boeuf-Cocodrie Diversion Channel, which dictated the settlement patterns of small communities like Eola, Morrow, and Gold Dust.
