1965 Map of Grassy Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Lake Verret and Grassy Lake dominate this mid-century Louisiana landscape, where the intricate hydrology of Assumption Parish meets the industrial infrastructure of the 1960s. The map illustrates a network of waterways including Fourmile Bayou, Bayou Geneve, and the Himalaya Canal, which served as vital corridors through the cypress-laden basin. Small settlements and landings like Attakapas Landing, Upper Texas, and Flower Texas are linked by a mix of unimproved dirt roads and the Landside Route. Evidence of the region's energy and agricultural economy is clear, from the Southern Pacific tracks near Oakley to scattered gas wells and the Dwight Fields. The parish line between Assumption and St. Martin follows the winding course of the bayous, reflecting how the shifting water governed the political and social boundaries of the era.
