1955 Map of Iowa
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
The railroad town of Iowa anchors this landscape in Calcasieu Parish, where the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific lines converge. This mid-century survey reveals a transition from traditional agricultural bayou country to an industrial corridor defined by energy extraction and drainage engineering. To the south and east, the Iowa Oil and Gas Field and Holmwood Oil and Gas Field mark the heavy footprint of the petroleum industry, while a complex system of levees, a canal, and the prominent Government Ditch reorder the natural flow of the West Fork and East Fork of English Bayou.
