1955 Map of Crowley
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Crowley and Rayne anchor the northern landscape of Acadia Parish, where the Southern Pacific railroad facilitates the transport of agricultural goods through the heart of the Cajun prairie. This mid-century survey reveals a sophisticated water management network essential for rice cultivation, characterized by an extensive system of irrigation channels like the Roller Canal, Marsh Canal, and the Avrico Canal. The rural landscape is punctuated by small communities such as Ebenezer, Morse, and Lyons Point, each serving as a hub for the surrounding farmstead families.
