1994 Map of Morgan City

About this map

Morgan City and Berwick occupy a vital junction where the Atchafalaya River meets the Intracostal Waterway, forming a dense network of waterborne commerce and industrial activity. The landscape is defined by its engineering, featuring the Bayou Boeuf Lock, the Flat Lake Floodway, and numerous levees protecting the town from the surrounding basin. The eastern expansion of the city includes the settlements of Wyandotte, Siracusaville, and Greenwood, which developed along the Southern Pacific rail line. Beyond the urban centers, the map reveals an environment dominated by water and extraction, from the Lake Palourde Gas Field to the labyrinthine wetlands of Avoca Island and Bateman Island. The presence of the Landing Strip and Comm Tower installations alongside older landmarks like Bradley Cem illustrates the layered development of this maritime gateway.
