1962 Map of Lac Des Allemands

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Webre Steib Plantation and Southdown Plantation anchor the agricultural landscape of the upper bank, where the land transitions into the expansive Rathborne Swamp. This 1960s environment is defined by its intricate water network, dominated by the massive Lac Des Allemands and Lake Boeuf. The mapping reveals a distinct settlement pattern following the natural levees of Bayou Lafourche, where the Southern Pacific railroad parallels the waterway through Rousseau and Ewing. Inland, isolated communities like Kraemer and Bayou Boeuf are linked by Route 307, carving paths through the cypress and tupelo wetlands. Economic activity in the mid-century is marked by extractive industries, evidenced by the Lac Des Allemands Gas Field and Lucy Gas Field, alongside traditional river-dependent life centered around landmarks like St Lawrence Ch and Choctaw Sch.
