1959 Map of Fordoche
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
The Atchafalaya River and Mississippi River define this complex alluvial landscape in Pointe Coupee Parish, where the river's historic volatility is recorded by the Morganza Crevasse April 1890. This mid-century survey reveals a transition toward industrial extraction, with the Fordoche Oil and Gas Field and Lottie Oil and Gas Field established amid the traditional plantation landscape. The Texas & Pacific RR serves as a central artery for several small settlements and stops, including Fordoche, Lottie, and Morganza.
