1983 Map of Mire
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The agrarian and industrial landscape of Acadia Parish is defined here by the extensive development of energy resources interspersed with small prairie settlements in the early 1980s. Local commerce and community life center on small hubs like Mire, Bristol, and Higginbotham, while larger-scale land use is dominated by several major petroleum zones, including the Bosco Oil and Gas Field and the Church Point Oil and Gas Field. The map records a complex network of pipelines and unimproved roads connecting these fields across the low-lying drainage basins of Bayou Wikoff and Bayou Carencro. This 1983 edition highlights the rural-industrial character of the region, where family-named locales like Castille and Arceneaux exist alongside the heavy infrastructure of the South Bosco Oil and Gas Field, providing a precise record of Louisiana's Gulf Coast interior before late-century shifts in the oil industry.
