1963 Map of Houma
USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
Bayou Lafourche and Bayou Terrebonne dictate the settlement patterns of this coastal Louisiana landscape, where communities like Raceland, Lockport, and Houma follow the natural levees of the waterways. The 1960s and 1970s marked a period of industrial change, with the Southern Pacific rail lines and the Intracoastal Waterway facilitating movement between the sprawling Lafourche Crossing Oil and Gas Field and the central hub at Houma. Local history is preserved in numerous family and community sites, such as the Matherne Cem, Myrtle Grove Cem, and Coteau Mission. The presence of the Houma Terrebonne Airport and various schools like Raceland High Sch reflect the mid-century growth of these parish seats. Beyond the developed corridors, the map reveals the transition into the marshy lowlands of Lake Fields and Lake Long.
