About this map

The low-lying wetlands of south Louisiana appear in detail during the mid-1950s, showing a landscape defined by water management and rural settlement. The community of Holmwood sits at the northern edge, where the Southern Pacific tracks cross the prairie. To the south, the terrain transitions into the Petit Bois Plateau, marked by a complex network of man-made and natural waterways including the Government Ditch, Indian Bayou, and the North Canal.
