1963 Map of Houma
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
Houma serves as the focal point of this coastal Louisiana landscape, where the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and the Southern Pacific railroad intersect a complex web of natural bayous. The 1960s economy is visibly tied to the land and water, evidenced by the Hollywood Gas Field and numerous drill holes scattered across the wetlands. This survey captures a transitional period of infrastructure, showing the Houma-Terrebonne Airport and various education sites like the Southdown High Sch and Raceland High Sch. Significant family and local history is preserved in the locations of the Aragon Plantation and numerous burial grounds, including the Myrtle Grove Cem and Crozier Cem. The map illustrates how settlements like Lockport, Raceland, and Bourg have developed strictly along the high ground of the bayou ridges, separated by expanses of open water such as Lake Fields.
