1954 Map of Grosse Tete

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Bayou Grosse Tete flows through the heart of this landscape, anchoring a network of small settlements and agricultural plots along the borders of Pointe Coupee Parish, West Baton Rouge Parish, and Iberville Parish. The Texas and Pacific railroad parallels the waterway, connecting the communities of Rosedale, Grosse Tete, Webre, and Slacks. This mid-century survey reflects a deeply utilized floodplain, where extensive spoil banks and drainage features like King Ditch and Catfish Canal reveal the ongoing efforts to manage the wet Louisiana terrain for commerce and habitation.
