1957 Map of Monroe South

About this map

The Ouachita River defines the western edge of this mid-century landscape, where the urban expansion of Monroe and West Monroe meets the dense bayou networks of the Mississippi Delta. The 1950s infrastructure is clearly visible, from the Lock and Dam No 4 on the river to the Illinois Central and Missouri Pacific railroad lines that support the region's transport economy. Educational and civic life are anchored by institutions like the Louisiana Training Institute, Terzia High Sch, and Conway Hospital, while the city limits transition into a maze of water bodies including Youngs Bayou and Raccoon Bayou. Local history is preserved in the numerous family and community sites, such as Ballard Cem, Old St James Ch, and the rural settlement at Maidco, offering a detailed view of the parish before modern suburban infill altered the eastern wetlands near Lafourche Swamp.
