1938 Map of Labadieville
USGS Topo · Published 1938About this map
Sugar cane cultivation and rail transportation dominate this 1938 landscape along the banks of Bayou Lafourche. The region is defined by a dense concentration of agricultural estates such as Cedar Grove Plantation, St Rose Plantation, and White Plantation, which line the fertile bayou corridor. The settlement of Labadieville serves as a central hub, supported by the competing tracks of the Southern Pacific and Texas and Pacific railroads. Inland from the bayou, the terrain transitions into complex drainage networks like the Himalaya Canal and Phillips Canal. Smaller communities and rural landmarks, including New Belmont Ch and Brule Guillot Sch, illustrate the social fabric of Assumption Parish during this era. The map also reveals specialized infrastructure like the Narrow Gage lines used to transport crops from the fields to processing centers.
