1970 Map of Fordoche
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Stonewall Plantation and the surrounding riverfront communities along the Mississippi River anchor this 1970 landscape, where the interplay of hydraulic engineering and the petrochemical industry is clearly visible. The region is dominated by the Morganza Floodway and the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway, massive drainage corridors designed to manage the river's flow. Between these managed spillways, the land is etched with a network of bayous including Bayou Fordoche and Bayou Latenache, alongside extensive petroleum developments such as the Fordoche Oil and Gas Field and Ravenswood Oil Field.
