1963 Map of Catahoula Bay

About this map

Lake Salvador dominates this coastal landscape, its expansive waters meeting a complex network of marshes and winding bayous that define the boundary between St. Charles and Lafourche parishes. This early 1960s environment shows a region defined by its water-based industry and navigation. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts a straight path across the southern marshes, intersecting with the Harvey Canal and Wickey Canal to facilitate maritime transit. Evidence of the era's energy exploration is visible through numerous drill holes and gas wells scattered across the Gas Field near the waterway.
