1939 Map of Opelousas
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
Opelousas serves as the bustling commercial hub of St. Landry Parish in this pre-war survey, anchoring a landscape where the plantation economy meets emerging industry. The Ville Platte Oil Field at the northern edge marks a significant shift in land use, while established landmarks like the Wartell Plantation reflect the area's agricultural roots. The region is heavily defined by its intricate network of bayous, with Bayou Cocodrie and Bayou Boeuf carving through the terrain, necessitating major crossings like Orbian Bridge and Guillory Bridge.
