1969 Map of Maringouin
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
Maringouin and the adjacent hamlets of Musson and Ramah occupy the fertile ground along Bayou Grosse Tete, bordered by the massive Atchafalaya Basin Floodway to the west. This landscape is defined by the rigid line of the East Protection Levee, which separates the settled agricultural land and the Texas and Pacific railroad corridor from the wilder wetlands of Des Ourses Swamp and Tight Island. The map records a transition in the local economy, where traditional bayou life meets industrial extraction at the Kenmore Oil and Gas Field and Klondike Oil Field. Genealogy researchers will find significant detail in the placement of several local congregations, including Little Zion Ch, Rising Sun Ch, and Bethany Ch, alongside the St Peter Cem, providing a spatial record of the community's social and religious centers.
