1964 Map of Gibson

About this map

Southern Pacific rail lines and a dense network of bayous define this mid-1960s landscape in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. The transition from industrial extraction to traditional agricultural land is visible in the proximity of the Bubbling Bayou Oil and Gas Field to historic estates like Magnolia Plantation and Minerva Plantation. The map captures a moment of residential expansion near Highland Park and Oakshire Manor, alongside specialized local landmarks like the Edward Daigle Drive-in Theater. Navigable waterways such as the Intracoastal Waterway and the Terrebonne Drainage Canal segment the marshy terrain, highlighting the region's reliance on water for transport and drainage. Small settlements like Chacahoula, Donner, and Gibson are connected by rail and road, while numerous country churches and cemeteries, including St Lukes Ch Cem and Beulah Ch, provide critical points of interest for genealogical research.
