1953 Map of Lobdell
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Sugar cane fields and industrial expansion meet the swampy lowlands of West Baton Rouge Parish in this mid-century landscape. The Texas and Pacific railroad serves as a primary transit corridor, linking settlements like Lobdell, Westover, and Brusly along the eastern edge. Industrial activity is evident in the Port Allen Oil Field and the massive dredging of the Intracoastal Waterway (Port Allen Canal), which cuts through the bottomland forests. Local genealogy is anchored by sites such as Christ Ch Cem and Brown Ch, while the western portion of the map is dominated by the intricate drainage of Grand Bayou and Choctaw Bayou. This era captures the parish during a period of infrastructure modernization, where modern radio towers and 4-lane highways began to intersect with long-established bayou communities like Lejeune and Ithra.
