1953 Map of Napoleonville
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Napoleonville and the winding Lafourche corridor dominate the eastern portion of this mid-century survey, where a dense network of sugarcane plantations and small settlements lines the waterway. Large holdings such as Little Texas Plantation and Oakley Plantation characterize the local agricultural landscape, while the Texas and Pacific RR and Southern Pacific RR provide the critical rail links for transport. To the west, the environment shifts dramatically into the vast swamps and basins of the Atchafalaya region. The massive expanse of Lake Verret serves as a central landmark, flanked by the East Lake Verret Oil Field and the West Lake Verret Oil and Gas Field, signaling the emergence of the petroleum industry alongside traditional river life. Waterways like Belle River and Attakapas Canal weave through the marshland, connecting the interior basins to the settled ridges.
