1959 Map of Maringouin
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The Atchafalaya Basin Floodway dominates this mid-century landscape, illustrating the complex hydrology where the Atchafalaya River meets a labyrinth of bayous and lakes. The settlement of Maringouin serves as a focal point along the Texas & Pacific RR and Bayou Grosse Tete, supported by the Upper Maringouin Sch and several local congregations including Bethany Ch and Little Zion Ch. The map reveals the region's industrial footprint through the Happytown Oil Field and Plumb Bob Oil Field, while the Whiskey Bay Pilot Channel indicates the engineering efforts to manage water flow through the basin. In the south, the village of Butte La Rose sits near the Butte La Rose Cemetery, isolated by the intricate network of Alabama Bayou and the Grand River. This survey captures the transition of the Louisiana swamp interior into a regulated spillway system and active petroleum producer.
