1963 Map of Chamblee

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Buena Vista Island and Rodney Island dominate this reach of the Mississippi River in the early 1960s, showing a landscape defined by shifting watercourses and alluvial deposits. The Rodney Cutoff illustrates the river's dynamic engineering, while numerous chutes and bayous like Gilliam Chute and Choctaw Bayou isolate landmasses between the main channel and the backwater lakes. Evidence of land use is visible in the Locust Ridge Oil Field and the Durango Plantation near Coles Creek Pumping Station Slough. Settlement patterns follow the higher ground and historical transportation corridors, such as the Missouri Pacific line serving Chamblee and the Old Railroad Grade near Waterproof. For those researching local history, the location of the Myrtle Grove Cem and various family-named features like Kings Point and Ashland provide specific points of interest on the Louisiana-Mississippi border.
