1975 Map of Horseshoe Lake NW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The town of Hughes anchors this 1970s orthophotograph, showing the precise grid of streets and buildings amidst a landscape defined by the ancient migrations of the Mississippi River. The geography is dominated by dramatic meander scars and oxbow features, most notably the wide arc of Council Lake and the meandering path of Fifteenmile Bayou. These water bodies and the smaller Crooked Bayou trace the delta's hydraulic history, where former river channels have been reclaimed for vast, geometric agricultural tracts. The aerial perspective captures the rural settlement at Penjur and the intricate drainage patterns of the Chute, providing a clear view of how human cultivation has adapted to the natural curves of the alluvial plain during the mid-1970s.
