1940 Map of Grosse Tete
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Mound Plantation and Shady Grove Plantation sit at the northern edge of this landscape, reflecting an era where large agricultural estates defined the river parishes. The Texas and Pacific RR cuts a diagonal path through the terrain, connecting settlements like Rosedale and Grosse Tete while serving industrial spurs such as Webress Spur. The environment is heavily influenced by the meandering courses of Bayou Maringouin and Bayou Grosse Tete, which dictated the placement of roads and homesteads.
