1983 Map of Carencro

About this map

Carencro and its surrounding prairie landscape are defined by the convergence of agricultural traditions and the expanding energy industry of the early 1980s. The map illustrates a region where local watercourses like Bayou Carencro and Coulee Mine intersect with significant industrial development, most notably the North Cankton Oil and Gas Field and Vatican Oil and Gas Field. These fields indicate the subsurface wealth that shaped the local economy alongside traditional farming.
