1947 Map of Vinton
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The town of Vinton serves as a central hub on this 1947 survey, defined by its rigid grid and clearly delineated City Limits along the Southern Pacific railroad line. This coastal prairie landscape in Calcasieu Parish is heavily modified by early twentieth-century water management and infrastructure, featuring the prominent Sabine Canal and Drew Canal alongside a sprawling network of state highways. To the south, the map reveals the smaller settlement of Ged adjacent to Ged Lake, while the rail stop at Edgerly anchors the northeastern corner. The presence of the Gulf States Utilities Drainage Canal and several high-voltage Transmission Lines reflects the growing industrialization of the region between the world wars, even as natural features like Gum Gully persist across the terrain.
