1965 Map of Bunkie
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The intersection of the Texas and Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads anchors the regional hub of Bunkie, where the town's grid reflects a busy mid-century interior economy. This 1965 survey shows the transition from the dense street plan of Bunkie, including the Carver High Sch and St Anthony Sch, to the surrounding agricultural and industrial landscape. The extraction economy is prominent in the southwest with the Eola Oil and Gas Field and Haas Oil and Gas Field. Rural life is centered around small settlements like Homesville and several country churches including Booneville Ch and Second Union Ch. The topography is defined by the winding Bayou Boeuf and the engineered Bayou Boeuf Cocodrie Diversion Channel, which manage water across the flat terrain of the Avoyelles Parish lowlands.
