1955 Map of Thibodaux
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The Mississippi River and Bayou Lafourche dictate the cultural geography of this Louisiana landscape, where settlement patterns follow the high ground of the natural levees. Large landholdings like Laurel Valley Plantation and Orange Grove Plantation are prominent, accompanied by an extensive network of drainage canals and pumping stations required for sugar cane cultivation. In the mid-1950s, the region was heavily partitioned by parish boundaries between Assumption, St. James, and Lafourche, with many rural communities organized around parish churches and schools.
