1954 Map of Grosse Tete

About this map

Bayou Grosse Tete anchors a landscape defined by the intersection of water and rail transport during the mid-1950s. The settlement pattern follows the narrow levees and the diagonal path of the Texas and Pacific railroad, which links the communities of Rosedale, Grosse Tete, and Slacks. This era shows a transition from purely river-dependent commerce to a rail-and-road economy, with many homes and churches like Mt Gullion Ch and Rose Hill Ch clustered along the natural levees.
