1957 Map of Monroe South

About this map

The Ouachita River meanders through this landscape, defining the boundaries and economic life of the region south of West Monroe and Monroe. The river's serpentine path is flanked by an extensive network of levees and diverse swampy basins, including the expansive Cheniere Brake to the west and the Lafourche Swamp to the east. These wetlands are interspersed with distinct geographic features like Pine Island and Coon Island, while smaller water bodies like Pucketts Lake and Lake Lafitta dot the lowlands. The settlement pattern follows the high ground and the path of the Missouri Pacific railroad, which runs parallel to the river through the communities of Logtown and Bosco.
