USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The prairie landscape of St Landry Parish and Acadia Parish comes alive in this mid-century portrait, defined by its extensive network of irrigation canals and bayous. The city of Eunice serves as the regional hub, with the Southern Pacific railroad cutting a diagonal path through the southwestern Louisiana wetlands. The map reveals a rural economy transitioning from agriculture to heavy industrial extraction, evidenced by numerous oil and gas operations like the Maxie Oil and Gas Field and North Riche Oil and Gas Field.
