1947 Map of Minden
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Minden and its surrounding parish lands are defined by a mix of heavy industry and small rural congregations just after World War II. The sprawling Louisiana Ordnance Plant occupies a significant portion of the central landscape, a reminder of the region's mobilization during the war years. To the west, the Bellevue Oilfield indicates the importance of petroleum extraction to the local economy. The terrain is crisscrossed by railroads including the Kansas City Southern and the Illinois Central, which serviced both the industrial hubs and the agricultural communities like Doyline and Sibley.
