1969 Map of Simmesport

About this map

Simmesport sits at the vital junction of the Atchafalaya River and Bayou des Glaises in the late 1960s, a landscape defined by an extensive system of protective levees. The town's layout reflects its role as a regional hub, featuring the Dunbar High School and several prominent local congregations including Mt Calvary Ch and St Matthew Ch. This survey illustrates the intricate water management of the Atchafalaya Floodway, where numerous waterways like Yellow Bayou and Wilson Bayou weave through the lowlands west of the main river channel.
