1953 Map of New Roads
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
The oxbow landscape of Pointe Coupee Parish is defined here by the False River, a massive cutoff meander that isolates the area known simply as The Island. Along its northern arc, the town of New Roads serves as a central hub, connected by the Texas and Pacific railroad to surrounding communities like Wickliffe and Ventress. This mid-century survey reveals a rural society structured around water and rail, featuring community anchors such as the Rosenwald Sch and the St Catherine Chapel near Mix.
