1967 Map of Laplace
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
The Bonnet Carre Spillway and its extensive Bonnet Carre Floodway dominate this 1960s landscape, illustrating the critical river-control infrastructure between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain. Along the river's winding course, established communities like Laplace, Norco, and Montz are shown alongside industrial landmarks such as the Refinery and multiple energy sectors including the Norco Oil and Gas Field and Laplace Oil and Gas Field. Small-scale details for genealogists include the Montz Cem and Bethune High Sch, while the shoreline of the lake features the Gaging Station and Frenier Beach. This survey records a period of heavy industrialization and flood management, where the Illinois Central Railroad and Texas & Pacific lines intersect with the complex levee systems protecting the river parishes.
