1959 Map of Lake Chicot

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Grand River and its intricate network of bayous dominate this 1959 landscape, where the shifting boundaries of Iberville, St. Martin, and Iberia Parishes meet. The area reflects a mid-century reliance on both the waterways and the subsurface, with the Bayou Sorrel Lock serving as a critical infrastructure point for navigation while the Bayou Sorrel Oil Field, Chicot Lake Oil Field, and Bayou Pigeon Oil Field indicate the era's heavy industrial activity. Small riverside settlements and religious centers such as Crescent, Sorrel, and Pigeon anchor the community, many reachable by La 75 or La 77.
