1953 Map of White Castle
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The Mississippi River defines the geography of Iberville Parish in the early 1950s, its winding course marked by numerous landings such as Dunboine Landing and Elenora Landing. A high density of settlements like Dorcyville, Soniat, and White Castle cling to the river's western levee, supported by the Texas and Pacific railroad and a network of bayous including Bayou Goula and Bayou Tigre. This map records a landscape of intensive plantation-style agriculture and emerging industry, evidenced by the White Castle Oil Field to the southwest and numerous named plantations like Glenmore, Tally Ho, and Augusta. A distinctive institutional landmark, the National Leprosarium, occupies the eastern bank at Point Clair, while the interior is crisscrossed with spoil banks and drainage canals essential for managing the low-lying terrain near Bruly La Croix and Samstown.
