1965 Map of Bunkie
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Bunkie serves as a concentrated rail and industrial hub in the mid-1960s, defined by the intersection of the Texas and Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads. The landscape surrounding the town is a complex network of bayous and wetlands, including Bayou Boeuf, Huffpower Bayou, and several lakes such as Lac Bon Garcon and Tanner Lake. This era highlights a transition in the local economy, where traditional water-borne transport and agriculture meet the growing energy sector, evidenced by the Eola Oil and Gas Field and the Cheneyville Gas and Oil Field to the south and west.
