1963 Map of Houma

About this map

The city of Houma serves as the focal point for this 1963 survey, illustrating its role as a regional hub where the Southern Pacific railroad meets a complex system of industrial and natural waterways. The landscape is defined by the Intracoastal Waterway and the massive Houma Navigation Canal, which cut through the low-lying marshlands alongside winding bayous like Bayou Terrebonne and Bayou Black. The expansion of the Houma Gas Field and the Houma-Terrebonne Airport reflect the mid-century industrial growth of the region.
