1969 Map of Cow Bayou

About this map

The Atchafalaya Basin Floodway dominates this landscape, showing a complex network of waterways managed for flood control in the late 1960s. The map illustrates the industrial footprint within the basin, featuring the Bayou des Glaises Oil and Gas Field and the Bayou Henry Gas Field. These energy sites are situated amidst a dense labyrinth of bayous, including Bristow Bayou and Straight Bayou, which drain into larger features like the Whisky Bay Pilot Channel. Evidence of human engineering is constant, from the East Protection Levee shielding the land to the Cow Island Cut-off on the Upper Grand River. Notable local landmarks like Klondike and the Bayou Bouillon area provide specific points of interest for those tracing the history of resource extraction and water management in Iberville Parish.
