1962 Map of Lac Des Allemands
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
Lac Des Allemands dominates this coastal landscape, where the shifting boundaries of St. John the Baptist, St. Charles, and Lafourche Parishes meet in the open water. In the early 1960s, the region's economy was defined by a blend of traditional waterways and industrial expansion, evidenced by the Lac Des Allemands Gas Field and several scattered gas and oil wells. The intricate network of wetlands is carved by numerous man-made and natural passages, including the Vacherie Canal, Pecan Tree Canal, and Bayou Boeuf. Landforms such as Pointe Cypres and Pointe aux Herbes extend into the lake, marking the delicate balance between the swampy interior and the vast basin. This survey provides a clear view of the navigational and industrial infrastructure before modern coastal erosion and development further altered these Louisiana wetlands.
