1932 Map of Thibodaux SW
USGS Topo · Published 1932About this map
Bayou Lafourche dictates the pattern of settlement and industry in this 1932 survey, with narrow, linear tracts extending away from the water in the traditional long-lot system. Labadieville serves as the central hub of this agricultural corridor, where the Southern Pacific and Texas and Pacific railroads parallel the bayou's course. The map documents an era of extensive plantation farming, identifying numerous large estates including the Cedar Grove, Laurel Grove, and White Plantation. Social life is anchored by local institutions like New Belmont Ch and St Johns Ch, while the landscape transitions into the wetlands of the Himalaya Canal and the Brodoux drainage. Smaller settlements such as Freetown, Nerville, and Morvant appear along the transport routes, illustrating the dense cultural geography of the river parishes before mid-century modernization.
