1954 Map of Fordoche
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Bayou Grosse Tete and Bayou Maringouin dominate this mid-century landscape in Pointe Coupee Parish, where the complex hydrology of the Atchafalaya Floodway meets established agricultural and industrial interests. The intersection of the Texas and Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads defines the regional transport network, connecting settlements like Fordoche, Livonia, and Blanks. The map reveals an economy transitioning between traditional bayou life and energy extraction, evidenced by the Lottie Oil Field and various gas fields located near the Portage Canal No 3.
