1959 Map of Kinder
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The Missouri Pacific railroad corridor serves as the backbone for commerce and transit through this Louisiana landscape in the late 1950s. The town of Kinder stands at the north, positioned near the Kinder Oil Field and Sacred Heart Ch. To the west, the Calcasieu River winds past several bluffs, including Phillips Bluff and Neville Bluff, while the settlement of Indian Village sits along its banks. The southern reaches of the map are defined by a shift toward energy extraction, dominated by the Woodlawn Oil and Gas Field and Welsh Oil and Gas Field. This transition from the riverine environment of Gum Bayou and Serpent Bayou to the organized extraction fields illustrates the dual importance of timber-rich waterways and the burgeoning petroleum industry in the regional economy during this era.
