1964 Map of Lake Mechant

About this map

Lake Mechant dominates this coastal landscape in southern Terrebonne Parish, showing a complex network of wetlands and tidal channels as they appeared in the early 1960s with revisions through the late 1970s. The map illustrates a region defined by water transport and resource extraction, notably featuring the Lake Pagie Gas Field and scattered Oil Wells and Drill Holes among the marshes. Significant waterways such as Bayou De Cade, Turtle Bayou, and Bayou Du Large provided critical navigation routes through the swampy terrain.
