1965 Map of Napoleonville
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
Bayou Lafourche dictates the settlement pattern of Assumption Parish in the mid-1960s, with a dense ribbon of development following its winding course. The town of Napoleonville serves as the focal point, connected to outlying communities like Paincourtville and Plattenville by the Texas and Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads. The map illustrates the transition from a traditional river-based agricultural economy to industrial diversification. To the west, the massive East Lake Verret Gas and Oil Field occupies the wetlands, while plantation-era names like Elm Hall, Glenwood, and Westfield persist as modern settlements and rail junctions. Cultural landmarks including Mt Pilgrim Ch, St Benedict Sch, and Evening Star Cem provide essential data for local historians and genealogists tracing the community's mid-century footprint.
