1965 Map of Grassy Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Lake Verret and Grassy Lake dominate this mid-century landscape in Assumption and St. Martin Parishes, where the labyrinthine waterways of the Atchafalaya Basin define the limits of human settlement. Along the northern and eastern fringes, communities like Upper Texas, Lower Texas, and Oakley sit on the higher ground adjacent to the Southern Pacific railroad line and the Himalaya Canal. The map records a transition from traditional bayou life to industrial utility, with the Lake Palourde Oil Field and several gas wells established in the southern swamps.
