About this map

Welsh and Roanoke anchor the northern corridor of this mid-century survey, where the Southern Pacific railroad parallels the main highway through the coastal prairie. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and transport canals, including the Indian Bayou Canal and Spoil Bank Canal, supporting the region's agricultural and industrial base. To the south, the terrain transitions into the wetlands of the Lacassine National Wildlife Refuge, featuring named high ground such as Oak Island and Pine Island amidst the Willow Marsh.
