About this map

English Bayou winds through the northern portion of this Calcasieu Parish landscape, where the agricultural economy of the early 1930s is defined by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure. The Farmers Land and Canal Co maintains a complex system of canals and ditches that cross the prairie to support local rice or sugarcane farming. Transportation is anchored by the dual presence of the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads, which parallel established routes like U S Highway No 90. Small rural settlements and educational centers serve the farming population, including Chloe with its nearby Chloe Sch, and Iowa to the east. The map captures a moment when traditional rail travel and emerging highway systems like State Highway No 1092 began to overlap, while the irrigation lines of the Farmers Land and Canal Co dictated the physical layout of the fields.
