Morgan City and its neighbor Berwick occupy a critical junction where the Atchafalaya River meets the Intracoastal Waterway and the Southern Pacific railroad line. This mid-century survey reveals the industrial and maritime infrastructure of the region, from the Berwick Waterworks to the numerous Radio Towers and Pumping Stations that serve the marshy coastline. The presence of the Gas and Oil Field near Bateman Lake and scattered Oil Wells highlights the importance of energy extraction in the local economy during the 1960s.
