1955 Map of Forked Island

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor and the settlement of Kaplan define the northern edge of this Vermilion Parish landscape during the mid-1950s. The transition from established agricultural lands to the marshy coastal fringe is marked by a complex network of drainage and transport infrastructure, including the Intracoastal Waterway and numerous pumping stations. Local family names are deeply etched into the geography through landmarks like the Broussard Landing Field and Hebert Cem.
