1939 Map of Fordoche
USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
The Atchafalaya River and the Mississippi River frame a landscape defined by intricate bayous and the reach of early 20th-century railroads. This 1930s survey, published following the Flood Control Act of 1939, documents the complex hydraulic environment of Pointe Coupee Parish and St Landry Parish. The arrival of the Texas and Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads facilitated the growth of timber and agricultural hubs like Melville, Fordoche, and Livonia.
