1947 Map of Thornwell
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The Mermentau River and Lacassine Bayou anchor this 1932 field survey, which documents an intricate network of waterways at the junction of Jefferson Davis Parish and Cameron Parish. The landscape is dominated by large-scale water management, evidenced by the Niblett Farm Canal and the Southwestern Canal, which support agricultural activity across the low-lying terrain. The village of Thornwell serves as a central hub along the Southern Pacific railroad line, while smaller points like Niblett and the Coto Plot represent the dispersed settlement patterns of the era.
