1954 Map of Rayne
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
The intersection of agriculture and heavy rail dominates this landscape between Rayne and Crowley, situated in the heart of Louisiana's prairie region. The survey reveals a meticulously partitioned territory where an extensive network of irrigation ditches and canals, including the Roller Canal, supports the local rice-growing economy. Dual rail lines, the Southern Pacific and Texas and Pacific, parallel each other across the northern half of the map, anchoring the commercial growth of these Acadia Parish hubs.
