1963 Map of Cut Off
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Lafourche serves as the central artery for this coastal landscape in the early 1960s, anchoring a chain of ribbon settlements including Valentine, Ludevine, Larose, and Cut Off. The map reveals a transition from these historic bankside communities to the sprawling agricultural and industrial operations of Delta Farms and Clovelly Farms. Beyond the reclaimed lands, a dense network of waterways like Bayou Portuguese and Bayou Long weaves through the wetlands toward the expanse of Lake Salvador. Local life is detailed through landmarks such as Gheens Ch, Griffin Cem, and Mt Zion Sch, alongside industrial indicators like the Bayou Poignard Gas Field. The presence of the Southern Pacific railroad and the Intracoastal Waterway highlights the region's importance as a transportation corridor connecting the marshlands to broader commerce.
