1969 Map of Bayou Sorrel

About this map

The Atchafalaya Basin Floodway dominates this Iberville Parish landscape, where the intricate transition between natural bayous and industrial infrastructure is clearly documented. The settlement of Bayou Sorrel serves as a focal point near the Bayou Sorrel Locks, marking a critical junction for navigation. The presence of the Intracoastal Waterway (Alternate Route) and the Lower Grand River illustrates the region's reliance on waterborne transport for both commerce and energy extraction. Extensive energy development is visible through the Crescent Oil Field, Sullivan Lake Oil and Gas Field, and Bayou Sorrel Oil and Gas Field, which are crisscrossed by a complex network of pipelines. Cultural landmarks like the Indian Mound Cem and Bayou Plaquemine Ch near The Parks provide essential grounding for genealogists tracking local families in this swampy, resource-rich environment.
