1962 Map of Lutcher

About this map

Evergreen Plantation stands as a prominent landmark on the west bank of the river, anchoring a landscape defined by the sharp bends of the Mississippi River. This mid-century survey illustrates the industrial transition of the River Parishes, where traditional settlements like Lutcher and Gramercy are joined by modern infrastructure such as large tailings ponds and a sewage disposal pond. The transportation network is dense, featuring the Kansas City Southern and Texas and Pacific railroads, alongside a Toll Ferry crossing that connects the west bank near Vacherie to the east bank communities.
