1948 Map of Pointe a La Hache
USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
The Mississippi River carves a narrow ribbon of habitable land through the marshy expanse of Plaquemines Parish in the late 1940s. This survey reveals a dense concentration of riverfront settlements and agricultural remnants like Beanbury Plantation along the Lower Coast Road. The region's economy is clearly transitioning, marked by the emergence of the Delacroix Island Oil Field and Lake Hermitage Oil Field amidst the labyrinth of coastal lakes and passes. Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous community landmarks, including the St Jude Sch (Colored) & Cem and the Pte a la Hache Sch. Rail infrastructure is prominent, with the New Orleans and Lower Coast RR and the Louisiana Southern RR following the levees to serve remote outposts like Bohemia and City Price.
