About this map

Bayou Grosse Tete meanders through the heart of this Pointe Coupee Parish landscape, serving as a geographic anchor for the settlements of Livonia, Valverda, and Frogmore. This late 1960s environment is defined by a dense network of water and industry, where the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway and its Protection Levee dominate the southwestern corner. The map documents an era of significant petroleum extraction, evidenced by the extensive Fordoche Oil Field and Grosse Tete Oil Field, crisscrossed by numerous pipelines.
