1969 Map of Bayou Jack

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Jack Bayou and the massive West Des Glaises Protection Levee Diversion Channel dominate this Louisiana landscape, illustrating the mid-century engineering efforts to manage the Atchafalaya Basin. The map records the rural settlements of Bayou Jack, Taterville, and Nugent as they appeared in the late 1960s, linked by a network of winding waterways and secondary roads. Local history is anchored by several small congregations and burial sites, including the Apostolic Ch and Mt Olive Ch Cem. The terrain is defined by complex hydrology, from the intricate curves of Bayou Rouge and Spring Bayou to the expansive West Atchafalaya Basin Drainage Canal. This survey provides a precise record of the land use patterns and water management systems before further development altered the parish borders.
