1963 Map of Lake Bruin

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Thistle Ridge Plantation and Mound Plantation characterize the alluvial landscape of Tensas Parish in the 1960s, where agricultural heritage meets the complex hydrology of the Mississippi River floodplain. This survey captures a region defined by its oxbow lakes and winding waterways, notably Lake Bruin and St Peter Lake, which are bordered by an extensive system of levees. The local economy and social structure are reflected in the numerous small settlements and religious sites, such as Crimea and Locust Ridge, alongside several community landmarks like Mound Hebrew Ch and China Grove Ch. The presence of the Missouri Pacific railroad and the Lancing Strip indicate the importance of transportation and early aviation in this river-bound territory, while scattered oil wells point to the subsurface resources being tapped during this era.
