1963 Map of Prairieville

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Prairieville and its surrounding communities in Ascension Parish are defined by the dense network of bayous and low-lying wetlands typical of the Louisiana river parishes. The Kansas City Southern railroad cuts a straight diagonal through the landscape, linking settlements like Duplessis and Dutch Town. To the north, the Amite River meanders in tight oxbows such as Horseshoe Bend, creating a series of small lakes including Metton Lake and Redman Lake.
