1962 Map of Lac Des Allemands
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Lac Des Allemands dominates this landscape, its waters reaching into complex bays like Baie A Carlin and Baie Chevreuil. The surrounding lowlands of Rathborne Swamp reveal a transition from plantation-based agriculture to industrial extraction, with the Lucy Gas Field and Lac Des Allemands Gas Field interspersed among established estates. Historic holdings such as Southdown Plantation, Webre Steib Plantation, and Golden Star Plantation line the higher ground near Vacherie, while the southern reaches near Bayou-Boeuf and Rousseau show the influence of the Southern Pacific and Texas And Pacific railroads. The area's social fabric is anchored by local institutions like Lady of Mercy Ch and Choctaw Sch. Waterways including Bayou Chevreuil and the Dredge Canal illustrate the vital role of drainage and navigation in the development of Lafourche Parish.
