1941 Map of Houma
USGS Topo · Published 1941About this map
Houma and its surrounding wetlands are meticulously documented just before the United States entered World War II, revealing a landscape defined by the convergence of major bayous and early industrial development. The city serves as a hub for the Southern Pacific railroad and the Intracoastal Waterway, with residential growth extending into Mechanicville. The era's dependence on the water is evident in the numerous settlements lining the banks of Bayou Lafourche, including Lockport, Rita, and Mathews.
