1983 Map of Crowley West

About this map

Crowley anchors the eastern edge of this landscape, where the urban grid meets a vast network of irrigation flumes and elevated canals essential for rice cultivation. The intricate water management system follows the natural curves of Bayou Plaquemine Brule and Bayou Blanc, illustrating the region's agricultural engineering. Along the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroad corridors, smaller settlements like Estherwood and Midland serve as hubs for the surrounding prairie. Beyond the residential streets of Crowley, which include landmarks like Ross Sch and Southwest Louisiana Voc-Tech Sch, the map reveals a heavy industrial presence of gas wells and pipelines. The transition from the town's parks, such as Hoffpauir Park and Martin Luther King Park, to the rural expanse of Morse highlights the deep connection between Acadia Parish's municipal centers and its working landscape of energy and agriculture.
