About this map

Iowa Oil and Gas Field and the Bell City Gas Field anchor the eastern and southern edges of this Calcasieu Parish landscape, reflecting the mid-century energy economy of southwest Louisiana. The town of Iowa sits at the junction of the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads, serving as a primary transportation hub for the surrounding prairies. The map details a complex network of water management, including the Government Ditch, Jones Canal, and extensive levee systems designed to control the flow of the English Bayou and its forks.
