1998 Map of Bourg
USGS Topo · Published 2003About this map
Bourg and the surrounding marshlands of Terrebonne Parish are defined by the convergence of industrial energy extraction and historic bayou settlements. This 1998 survey illustrates a landscape intricately carved by the Intracoastal Waterway and various navigation channels like the Hollywood Canal and Lake Long Company Canal. The region's economy is clearly anchored by the Bourg Gas Field and the Lake Long Oil and Gas Field, with numerous drill holes dotting the wetlands. Family history and community life are marked by landmarks such as Matherne Cem, St Elie Cem, and Bisland Cem, alongside local spiritual centers like St Peters Ch and the Charpentier Mission. The map captures the complex drainage and transportation network where Bayou Terrebonne and Bayou Petit Caillou meander through the low-lying terrain.
