1974 Map of White Castle

About this map

White Castle Oil Field and numerous crawfish farms define the industrial and agricultural landscape of this Iberville Parish riverfront during the mid-1970s. The Mississippi River creates a dramatic bend at Clair Point, sheltering the Bayou Goula Towhead and the extensive grounds of the National Leprosarium. The Texas and Pacific railroad corridor serves as the spine for a string of river-town settlements including Bayou Goula, Dorcyville, and White Castle.
