LOUISIANA OFFICIAL MAPS

 

Notes:

 

Maps dated 1951, 1953, 1956, 1960 and 1963 contain only a message stating "Surface types corrected to [date]." This date is used as the attributed year.

 

The [c.1958] map contains no date whatsoever, but can definitely be placed between 1956 and 1960 by comparing map details. The [c.1966] and [c.1968] maps also contain no date, but can be placed near 1966 and 1968, respectively, by comparing them to commercial maps from the period.
