1965 Map of Turnbull Island

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Turnbull Island dominates this 1960s landscape, carved out by the shifting hydrologic patterns of the Red River and the Mississippi River. The map captures a complex network of backwaters and bayous, including Moreau Lake and Grand Lake, illustrating the dynamic nature of the alluvial plain. Historical land use is evident in the presence of the Old Railroad Grade and infrastructure such as the Old River Lock and the substantial Outflow Channel. Local history and genealogy are anchored by specific landmarks like the Turnbull Cem and the Royal Oak Ch. Smaller water bodies, such as Les Petites Lacs a Blakewood and Sugar Mill Chute, reflect the localized geography of the parish boundaries where Avoyelles Parish, Concordia Parish, and West Feliciana Parish meet.
