1964 Map of Lake Felicity

About this map

The corridor of Bayou Lafourche serves as the industrial and social backbone for this mid-1960s coastal landscape, anchoring the linear settlements of Galliano, Golden Meadow, and Belle Amie. The map reveals a high-density ribbon of development along the waterway, contrasted against the expansive surrounding wetlands of Terrebonne Parish and Lafourche Parish. This era captures the significant footprint of the energy industry, with the Bully Camp Gas Field, Clovelly Oil and Gas Field, and Jean Plaisance Field marking the marshland with canals and drill holes. Local history is preserved in landmarks such as the Lower Pointe au Chien Sch and several family-named burial grounds like Cheramie Cem and Hebert Cem. The intricate hydrology of the region is documented through named features like Catfish Lake and Lake Raccourci, illustrating the fragile transition from bayou to open gulf water.
