1952 Map of Danciger

About this map

The Bernard River defines the eastern edge of this coastal prairie landscape, where the settlement of Danciger sits at the heart of an active industrial and agricultural corridor. The map reveals a complex water management system necessary for this low-lying region, featuring a prominent Levee system and the Salt Water Canal cutting across the terrain. Oil and gas extraction are central to the area's mid-century identity, dominated by the sprawling Pledger Gas Field and a network of Pipe Lines that crisscross the bayous.
