1947 Map of Ville Platte
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The Ville Platte street grid and the surrounding Evangeline Parish landscape define this 1947 survey, produced from earlier aerial photography and field exams. The settlement pattern is heavily influenced by the Texas and Pacific Railway, which cuts a diagonal line through the town and southward toward Point Blue. This era shows a community rooted in the wet prairies and wooded bayous of south-central Louisiana, where transport and water management were paramount.
