1967 Map of Hahnville

About this map

Hahnville and its surrounding parish seat operations serve as the central hub of this survey, where the Mississippi River makes a dramatic turn past the courthouse and Holy Rosary Ch. The landscape reveals a complex transition from the riverfront industry and levee-bound settlements like Norco and Good Hope to the deep wetlands of the south. This era shows significant industrial development, with a Refinery and large areas dedicated to Sewage Disposal and Industrial Waste near Taft. Farther inland, the map captures the structured drainage systems essential to this environment, including the Eighty Arpent Canal and Hymel Canal. These waterways navigate between islands of firmer ground such as Cypress Island and Bird Island, while the Texas and Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads anchor the inland communities of Paradis and Boutte.
