1953 Map of Maringouin

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Maringouin and the neighboring settlement of Musson occupy the narrow, fertile natural levees between Bayou Grosse Tete and Bayou Maringouin. In this mid-century landscape, the transition from organized agriculture to the dense bottomland of the Atchafalaya Floodway is sudden and stark. The eastern edge is defined by the East Protection Levee, a massive engineering work separating the town's small-plot farms from a wilderness of bayous like Bayou Button and Bayou Des Glaises.
