1960 Map of Loreauville
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
Bayou Teche defines the western edge of this landscape, anchoring a string of historic communities including Loreauville, Belle Place, and Walet. This 1960 era survey by the Mississippi River Commission details the transition from the settled agricultural lands and sugar country along the bayou to the expansive wetlands of the Atchafalaya Floodway. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by a complex network of waterways like Lake Dauterive and Fausse Pointe Lake, which serve as the backdrop for the region's mid-century petroleum industry, including the Fausse Pointe Oil Field and Section 28 Oil and Gas Field.
