1946 Map of Kaplan
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
The boundary between Acadia Parish and Vermilion Parish follows the meandering course of Queue de Tortue and Bayou de Tortue in this mid-century survey of the southwest Louisiana prairies. The grid-like layout of the landscape is dominated by an extensive network of irrigation ditches and canals, including the Avrico Canal, reflecting the region's deep ties to rice cultivation. In the southeast, the town of Kaplan is shown with its emerging street grid and industrial footprint along the Southern Pacific railroad line.
