1936 Map of White Castle
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
The Mississippi River defines the landscape of this riverfront corridor during the mid-1930s, winding past a dense concentration of historic river estates and agrarian settlements. The town of White Castle and nearby Bayou Goula serve as primary hubs, connected to the broader region by the Texas and Pacific railroad line. This era captures the transition of the local economy, where traditional sugar estates like the Belle Grove Plantation, Eureka Plantation, and Tally-Ho Plantation dominate the riverbanks while new industrial footprints emerge at the Wilbert Oil Field Shell Petroleum Corp. Social life is anchored by several rural institutions, including the St Marys Ch & Cem and the Augusta Sch. Inland, the terrain shifts toward the swampy reaches of Lake Natchez and Grand Bayou, illustrating the distinct boundary between the cultivated riverfront and the low-lying wetlands.
