1998 Map of Houma
USGS Topo · Published 2000About this map
The intricate waterways of the Louisiana bayou define the landscape of Houma during the late 1990s, where the city center is bisected by the Houma Intracoastal Waterway and the Houma Navigation Canal. This survey illustrates the dense residential layout of neighborhoods like East Houma and Daigleville alongside industrial infrastructure, including the Houma Gas Field and the Houma-Terrebonne Airport. For genealogists, the map is a detailed guide to local burial grounds and parish landmarks, showing Myrtle Grove Cem, Crozier Cem, and St John Ch. The transition from urban streets like Main St to the marshy lowlands of Bayou Grand Caillou and Bayou La Carpe reveals the region's reliance on both water navigation and land reclamation, with numerous drainage canals such as Ashland Canal and Goudreaux Canal supporting the surrounding settlements.
