1953 Map of Prairieville
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
Amite River meanders along the border of East Baton Rouge and Livingston Parishes, defining a landscape of oxbow lakes and wetlands like Horseshoe Lake and Melton Lake. In the early 1950s, the southern portion of this region in Ascension Parish shows a maturing network of rural settlements and agricultural centers. The Airline Highway and the Kansas City Southern railroad form a clear industrial and transport spine through the heart of the area, connecting established communities such as Prairieville, Duplessis, and Dutch Town.
