1963 Map of Chamblee

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this landscape along the Louisiana-Mississippi border, where the river's dynamic history is written in features like the Rodney Cutoff and Buena Vista Island. The 1963 survey shows a region defined by its plantation-era foundations and more recent industrial developments, including the Locust Ridge Oil Field and scattered oil wells. Along the western bank, the Missouri Pacific railroad parallels the river, passing through the settlement of Chamblee and near Goldman Landing. Evidence of shifting transportation is visible in the Old Railroad Grade near Myrtle Grove Cem. Inland, the landscape is a network of backwater bayous and oxbow lakes such as Bell Cow Lake and Brushy Lake, illustrating the complex hydrology of Tensas Parish and Jefferson County before modern levees fully stabilized the terrain.
