1970 Map of Opelousas
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Opelousas serves as the focal point of this South Louisiana landscape, where the confluence of three major rail lines—the Southern Pacific, Texas and Pacific, and Missouri Pacific—illustrates the city's historic role as a transportation hub. The surrounding St. Landry Parish countryside is a dense network of watercourses, including Bayou Teche and Bayou Courtableau, which supported early settlement patterns visible through numerous community landmarks like Grand Prairie Ch & Cem and Sacred Heart Chapel & Cem.
