1967 Map of Shaw

About this map

The town of Shaw serves as the central hub of this Delta landscape during the late 1960s, situated at the junction of the Illinois Central railroad and Porter Bayou. The terrain is defined by its intricate hydrological network, featuring the winding Bogue Phalia and the Pecan Bayou Cutoff, alongside modern agricultural developments like the Fish Farm near Napanee. Local heritage is deeply etched into the land, from the Old Indian Treaty Boundary cutting across the survey to the multiple Indian Mound sites preserved near the bayou bends.
