1963 Map of Gheens

About this map

Gheens and its surrounding wetlands represent the characteristic interface of settlement and marsh in 1960s Lafourche Parish. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the straight-cut Company Canal and Forty Arpent Canal, which stand in contrast to the natural winding course of Bayou Vacherie and Bayou Chateau de Cypres. This period shows the active extraction industry within the Valentine Oil Field, where numerous drill holes and oil wells dot the marshy terrain south of the main settlement.
