1956 Map of Gaytine

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Gaytine and Turps are situated at the intersection of a complex hydrological landscape where the Southern Pacific railroad cuts through the lowlands of Southwest Louisiana. This mid-century survey reveals a territory defined by intricate drainage patterns, including the meandering Marsh Bayou and Indian Bayou. The convergence of multiple parish lines, including those of Beauregard, Allen, Calcasieu, and Jefferson Davis, highlights the area's significance as a border region. Near the southern edge, the settlement of Gillis serves as a small anchor along the rail line, while features like the Habeth Landing Strip and a Radio Tower reflect mid-century infrastructure developments. The landscape is a mosaic of wooded areas and waterways such as Boggy Creek and Hickory Branch, interspersed with a man-made Canal that suggests early water management or industrial attempts to navigate the surrounding marshland.
