1967 Map of Des Allemands
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The settlement of Des Allemands serves as the focal point for this study of the Louisiana bayou country, situated along the border of St. Charles and Lafourche Parishes. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways and industrial infrastructure, where the Southern Pacific railroad and the Paradis Oil and Gas Field intersect with the natural flow of the Bayou Des Allemands. The map reveals a transition from the structured drainage of the Crawford Canal and its numerous numbered laterals to the open waters of Petit Lac Des Allemands. Notable landmarks for local historians include the Great Antioch Ch and several burial sites like Shell Mound Cem and Bayou Gauche Cem. The presence of a Refinery and numerous oil wells across the Bayou Des Allemands Oil and Gas Field underscores the region's mid-century economic reliance on petroleum extraction amidst the wetlands.
