1962 Map of Madewood
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Bayou Lafourche anchors this South Louisiana landscape, its banks lined with the linear settlement patterns of historic plantations and small communities. Along the western corridor, the Texas and Pacific railroad parallels the waterway, connecting names like Madewood, Bertie, and Albemarle. The map reveals the intricate engineering of the sugar country, where a network of drainage ways including Baker Canal North, Baker Canal East, and Cancienne Canal manage the low-lying terrain. While the western portion shows concentrated development around Woodlawn Ch and Mt Carmel Ch, the eastern reaches of the quadrangle transition into the expansive wetlands of Bayou Verret and Bayou Traverse. This 1962 revision, updated with 1978 aerial data, documents the persistent agricultural character of the region alongside mid-century energy developments like the Burton Gas Field and various pipelines.
