About this map

Lafayette sits at a crossroads of industry and education in the mid-1950s, centered on the SW Louisiana Institute and the Southern Pacific rail line. The city's residential growth is evident through numerous parochial and public institutions, including St Genevieve Sch and St Marys Orphanage. To the southeast, the Vermilion River snakes through the landscape, bordered by several family and parish burial grounds such as Whittington Cem and Cobb Cem.
