About this map

Jefferson Davis Parish rice and oil country is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and transport infrastructure in the mid-1980s. The landscape around Hathaway and Raymond is characterized by a sophisticated system of agricultural water management, including the Tiptop Canal and numerous flumes and siphons used to flood the surrounding fields. The natural drainage of Nezpique Bayou on the eastern edge of the quadrangle contrasts with the engineered waterways like West Bayou Grand Marais and Middle Bayou Grand Marais. Small rural settlements like Panchoville are interspersed with industrial and utility markers, including a radio tower, a Sand Pit, and double wooden pole power lines. This survey captures the region just before significant changes in modern agricultural technology, documenting a period when localized pumping stations and a landing strip were vital components of the rural economy.
