1998 Map of Mire
USGS Topo · Published 2002About this map
Mire and surrounding Acadia Parish settlements occupy a landscape defined by an extensive network of petroleum extraction and drainage bayous at the close of the twentieth century. The map reveals the industrial footprint of the Bosco Oil and Gas Field and North Branch Gas Field, where pipelines and well sites weave between established communities like Higginbotham and Bristol. Smaller rural junctions, including Deshotel and Castille, are connected by a grid of improved and unimproved roads, illustrating the persistent settlement patterns of this prairie region.
