1957 Map of Lecompte
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The complex wetland hydrology of Rapides Parish is on full display here, where the winding courses of Bayou Boeuf and Bayou Lamourie dictate the placement of early settlements and agriculture. In the mid-1950s, the landscape was a mosaic of swampy lowlands and cultivated fields, notably at Bench Slough Plantation and the Dean Lee Agricultural Center. The town of Lecompte serves as a central hub, situated where the Louisiana Meridian intersects major rail lines and road networks.
