1955 Map of Jennings
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Jennings and Lake Arthur center this mid-century survey of Louisiana's coastal prairie, where the Southern Pacific railroad and a dense network of rice irrigation canals defined the local economy. The landscape is a complex intersection of natural bayous, such as Bayou Nezpique and Bayou des Cannes, and an extensive industrial infrastructure of petroleum extraction. Numerous designated zones like the Jennings Oil and Gas Field and the West Lake Arthur Oil Field surround the primary settlements.
