1968 Map of Oakdale
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific railroads converge in Oakdale, marking this Louisiana town as a significant transport and industrial hub in the late 1960s. The presence of a refinery and multiple landing strips, including Murray Airport and the Oakdale Municipal Airport, underscores the area's economic activity during this era. To the west, the landscape transitions into the preserved territory of the West Bay State Wildlife Management Area, defined by the winding course of Curtis Creek. For family historians, the sheet is exceptionally detailed with local landmarks such as Oak Hill Ch, Cryer Cem, and Sacred Heart Cem, alongside several parish schools that anchored the community's residential life. The river-and-rail topography is further defined by an extensive network of pipelines and old railroad grades, reflecting a shifting infrastructure as newer industries integrated with established timber and transit corridors.
