1964 Map of Bayou Du Large

About this map

Bayou Du Large snakes through the marshlands of southern Terrebonne Parish, anchoring a landscape where land and water are inextricably linked. In the mid-1960s, the community of Theriot served as the primary settlement, with local life centered around institutions like Immaculate Conception Ch and the Lower Bayou du Large Sch. This era was defined by the intersection of traditional bayou navigation and industrial expansion, as seen in the extensive network of oil and gas operations. The Penchant Oil Field and Bayou Rambio Oil and Gas Field dot the wetlands with drilling sites, while major water bodies like Lake Mechant and Lake De Cade dominate the hydrology. The map also captures several cultural landmarks, including an Indian Mound near the South Sunrise Oil and Gas Field, highlighting a long history of human presence on the ridge.
