1963 Map of New Iberia South

About this map

Bayou Teche winds through the heart of this Acadiana landscape, anchoring a series of historic riverside settlements including Berard, Gajan, and Olivier. The map documents the mid-century transition of New Iberia, showing the southern extent of the city and its industrial connectivity via the Southern Pacific railroad. Away from the town center, the landscape is defined by the legacy of agricultural estates like Duboin Plantation and Little Valley Plantation, along with specialized infrastructure such as the Port of New Iberia and the New Iberia Southern Drainage Canal. Family-named coulees and bayous, including Peebles Coulee and Jacks Coulee, drain the low-lying terrain toward the marshy southern reaches. Local social life is preserved through the location of rural institutions like St Joseph Ch, St Thomas Ch, and Peebles Sch, alongside an Old Railroad Grade that hints at earlier transportation networks.
