1963 Map of Montegut

About this map

Bayou Terrebonne and Bayou Petit Caillou define the settlement patterns of this coastal landscape, where narrow strips of habitable land follow the natural levees of the watercourses. Established communities like Montegut and Chauvin are concentrated along these ridges, supported by a network of drainage structures including the Boudreaux Canal and New Canal. The map documents a transition from the agricultural heritage of Sarah Plantation to the industrial presence of the Montegut Oil and Gas Field and Lirette Oil and Gas Field. Religious and educational life is well-marked by local landmarks such as Sacred Heart Ch, Mt Calvary Ch, and La Cache Jr High Sch, while the surrounding wetlands are crisscrossed by smaller waterways like Bayou Billy Goat and Bayou Pointe au Chien.
