1949 Map of Minden
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Minden and its surrounding parish lands are defined by a mix of early industrial development and rural community infrastructure during the late 1940s. The presence of the massive Louisiana Ordnance Plant south of town, along with the Bellevue Oilfield to the west, illustrates the region's mid-century shift toward military and energy production. Despite this industrial footprint, the landscape remains dotted with dozens of family-named landmarks and local institutions, from Jim Davis Cemetery to the Growing Valley School, reflecting deep-seated genealogical roots in the area.
