1954 Map of Grosse Tete
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Bayou Grosse Tete dictates the geography of this Iberville Parish landscape, where long, narrow land lots stretch back from the water in the traditional Louisiana style. The Texas and Pacific railroad parallels the bayou, serving as the spine for settlements like Rosedale, Grosse Tete, and Webre. The map reveals a community supported by local institutions such as Shady Grove Sch and Rose Hill Ch, along with the St Joseph Cem near the southern bend of the waterway. Beyond the cultivated strips near the bayou, the terrain transitions into a complex network of wetlands and smaller channels, including Tommy Bayou and Choctaw Bayou. This pattern of settlement reflects the importance of river and rail access for the region's agricultural economy during the mid-20th century.
