1946 Map of Lafayette
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
Lafayette serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by the winding course of the Vermilion River and the extensive system of drainage ditches and coulees including Coulee Poches. The map documents a period of academic and urban expansion, notably featuring the Louisiana Southwestern Institute and the organized street grid of the city's core near City Park. Beyond the city limits, the land is partitioned into a complex arrangement of long-lot land grants, a hallmark of French-influenced settlement patterns in the region.
