1962 Map of Lac Des Allemands
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Lac Des Allemands dominates this landscape at the intersection of St. John the Baptist, St. Charles, and Lafourche Parishes. In the early 1960s, this watery expanse served as a vital hub for natural resource extraction, evidenced by the Lucy Gas Field and the Lac Des Allemands Gas Field. The map reveals a complex network of artificial waterways like Moll Canal and Little Pecan Tree Canal, which cut through the marsh to facilitate drainage and transport. Landmarks such as Pointe aux Herbes and Carlin Pointe define the shoreline, while named inlets like Baie d'en Haut and Knight Bay reflect the French heritage of the region. The intricate drainage patterns of Bayou Chevreuil and Bayou Lasseigne illustrate the transitional nature of the Louisiana wetlands before further modern development altered these traditional bayou routes.
