1955 Map of Welsh
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Welsh and its surrounding prairie landscapes dominate this mid-century survey, revealing a region defined by rice irrigation and the expanding petroleum industry. The Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads anchor the northern settlements of Iowa, Lacassine, and Roanoke, while the southern reaches descend into the marshy complex of the Lacassine National Wildlife Refuge. This intersection of agriculture and conservation is marked by a vast network of man-made waterways, including the Indian Bayou Canal and the Niblett Canal, which support the local transition from the prairie to the coastal wetlands.
