About this map

Bayou Grosse Tete serves as the primary artery through this Louisiana landscape, anchoring the settlements of Rosedale and Grosse Tete. The map reflects an economy built on both the fertile bayou banks and the subsurface wealth of the Maringouin Oil Field and the Rosedale Oil and Gas Field. Rural community life is well-documented through several historic institutions, including the Shady Grove Ch, Levy Sch, and the Rose Hill Ch Cem.

The complex hydrology of the Atchafalaya Basin periphery is evident in the network of waterways such as Bayou Cholpe, Grand Bayou, and the Trinity Canal. Along the bayou, smaller locales like Slacks and Sunnyside Ch appear alongside vital infrastructure like the Levee and various substations. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of parish boundaries between Pointe Coupee Parish and Iberville Parish during the late 20th century.
