1957 Map of Moss Bluff
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Calcasieu River meanders through this mid-century landscape, defining the boundaries between several parishes and shaping the settlement patterns of southwest Louisiana. The map captures the complex riverine environment of bayous, cutoffs, and marshes, including Old River Bay and the winding English Bayou. In the south, the industrial and residential expansion of Goosport and Bridge Junction contrasts with the rural character of northern settlements like Gaytine and Topsy. The map documents the early infrastructure of the Iowa Oil and Gas Field with its network of oil wells and sludge pits, while long-standing local landmarks like Perkins Ferry and the Goldsmith Grade reveal older layers of transportation history. Genealogists will find numerous family-named burial grounds, such as Lyles Cem and Nevils Cem, alongside local institutions like Moss Bluff Sch.
