1965 Map of Grassy Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Lake Verret and the neighboring Grassy Lake anchor this mid-1960s study of the Louisiana bayou country. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of water ways, including the Oakley Canal, Cancienne Canal, and Himalaya Canal, which supported the region's agricultural and industrial activity. Small settlements like Oakley, Percle, and Attakapas Landing dot the margins of the swamps, while larger landholdings such as Dwight Fields and Upper Texas suggest the scale of local sugar or timber operations. The map also captures the energy infrastructure of the era, specifically within the Oakley Gas Field and Sherman Field. The Southern Pacific railroad line runs through the northeast corner, providing a vital transport link for the communities and resources found along Bayou Crab and Bayou Louis.
