1947 Map of DeQuincy
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The railroad junction of De Quincy serves as the focal point for this 1930s-era landscape, where three major lines—the Kansas City Southern, Missouri Pacific, and Texas and New Orleans—converge to define the local economy and transport network. This intricate rail hub is surrounded by the lowlands of the Calcasieu-Beauregard parish line, characterized by watercourses like Beckwith Creek and the meandering Cowards Gully. Small outlying settlements such as Sompayrac, Holden, and Perkins are linked to the central town by early motor routes, including the Texas New Orleans Highway and State Highway No 104. Genealogists will find particular value in the location of the Rigmaiden Cem south of the main rail yards, as well as the numerous unnamed structures and farmsteads scattered across the marshy terrain that predate the mid-century expansion of the region.
