1962 Map of Mount Airy NW

About this map

The Amite River Diversion Canal dominates this low-lying swamp landscape, illustrating the mid-20th-century hydrological engineering effort to redirect water flow across several parish lines. At this time, the area served as a complex intersection of natural and man-made waterways, where the Blind River and Petite Amite River snake through a labyrinth of bayous and wetlands. An Old Railroad Grade indicates earlier industrial or logging activity that once penetrated these marshes.
