1974 Map of Lone Star

About this map

Industrial energy infrastructure and swampy lowlands define this survey of Iberville and Assumption Parishes. The White Castle Oil Field dominates the northwest corner, while the Napoleonville Oil and Gas Field stretches across the southern reach, illustrating the mid-century petroleum economy of the Atchafalaya Basin. Small settlements like Goldridge, Lone Star, and Bayou Corne are concentrated near the periphery of a dense network of waterways including Black Bayou, False Branch, and the sprawling Lake Natchez. The landscape is heavily intersected by pipelines and drainage canals, characteristic of this subsidence-prone region. Toward the south, intricate natural drainages such as Chopin Bayou, Possum Bayou, and the Postillion Bayou weave through the marshland, providing a detailed look at the complex hydrology before significant modern alterations.
