1963 Map of Walls
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Profit Island dominates the bend of the Mississippi River as it winds through West Baton Rouge Parish, creating a complex landscape of chutes and oxbow lakes. The low-lying terrain is defined by a intricate network of waterways including The Chenal, Grand Bayou, and Bayou Tiger, which support the agricultural settlements of Smithfield and Chamberlin. The Texas and Pacific railroad line cuts a straight path across the alluvial plain, connecting small communities like Arbroth, Walls, and Bueche. Cultural life in this era is centered around numerous country churches, such as Zion Traveler Ch and St Pauls Ch, while the proximity to the river necessitates an extensive Levee system. This 1963 survey captures the area before modern industrial expansion, preserving the locations of the Devall Sch and a historic Indian Mound near Lake Clause.
