1964 Map of Bayou Cocodrie

About this map

Greenwood sits at the northern edge of this Louisiana landscape, where the agricultural and energy industries of Terrebonne Parish intersect. The 1960s terrain is defined by a complex network of dredging and resource extraction, with the Bayou Cocodrie Waterway and the Intracoastal Waterway cutting through the wetlands. Industrial development is heavy throughout the area, marked by the Gibson Oil Field, Northeast Gibson Field, and numerous scattered drill holes and gas wells. Local landmarks like Mt Pilgrim Ch near Bayou Black provide evidence of established communities amidst the commercial activity. The map reveals the watery geography of the region, tracing Lake Cocodrie and the Bayou Copasaw as they wind through the marsh toward Bayou Penchant. Purple photorevisions from 1978 show how the shoreline and industrial infrastructure evolved in the late twentieth century.
