1963 Map of Montegut

About this map

Bayou Terrebonne and Bayou Petit Caillou define the inhabited corridors of this coastal Louisiana landscape, where narrow strips of high ground support dense strings of homes and institutions. In the early 1960s, these waterways served as the primary axes for the communities of Montegut, Chauvin, and Point Barre. The map reveals a high density of religious and educational landmarks serving these isolated settlements, including Sacred Heart Ch, St Peters Ch, and the La Cache Jr High Sch. Industrial activity is marked by the presence of the Montegut Oil and Gas Field and Lirette Oil and Gas Field, while the interior is a complex network of wetlands and man-made passages like Boudreaux Canal and Madison Canal. Cultural history is anchored by sites like Sarah Plantation and family-named cemeteries such as Dugas Cem.
