USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
St Landry Parish and Pointe Coupee Parish are defined by the intricate hydrology of the Atchafalaya River and its sprawling spillways. This era reveals a landscape transitioning from traditional bayou settlements like Rideau Settlement and Waxia to an industrializing corridor shaped by the Missouri Pacific RR and expanding energy interests. The southern portion is anchored by Port Barre, where the Bayou Teche begins its course amidst a network of sloughs and prongs.
