1964 Map of Lake Felicity

About this map

Bayou Jean Lacroix Oil and Gas Field dominates the northern marshlands of this mid-1960s survey, marking the intersection of natural hydrology and industrial extraction in Terrebonne Parish. The landscape is a complex maze of interconnected waterways, where Lake Chien and Lake Felicity are linked by the Grand Cut. These wide, shallow basins are surrounded by shifting landforms like Felicity Island and the Formation Islands, illustrating the fragile nature of the Louisiana gulf coast. Several Drill Holes and a Light are noted among the bayous, signaling the ongoing human presence within the tidal environment. The map details the transition from larger open waters like Lake Barre to intricate bayou systems, including Bayou Leblanc and Bayou St Jean Charles, which serve as the primary conduits through the wetlands.
