1962 Map of New Roads

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

False River, an oxbow lake of the Mississippi River, dominates the landscape of this Pointe Coupee Parish survey. The town of New Roads serves as the focal point, situated on the northern bank of the oxbow and bisected by the Texas and Pacific railroad. The map illustrates a dense pattern of long-lot land divisions radiating from the water, characteristic of colonial French settlement patterns where river access was paramount.
