1954 Map of Vinton
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
Vinton's grid of streets and clearly defined City Limits dominate the center of this 1954 Calcasieu Parish map. The landscape reflects a transition into industrial water and power management, marked by the extensive Gulf States Utilities Transmission Line and a network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure including the Sabine Canal and Drew Canal. To the east, the settlement of Edgerly sits along the Southern Pacific tracks, while the southern reaches feature the smaller hamlet of Ged near the banks of Ged Lake. The mapping reveals how transportation corridors like State Highway No 90 were already shaping the corridor between these Southwest Louisiana communities, while more remote drainage features like Gum Gully point toward the original coastal prairie hydrology.
