1962 Map of Mount Airy NE
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The low-lying wetlands of Lake Maurepas and the surrounding cypress-tupelo swamp define this section of the Louisiana coast in the early 1960s. The map illustrates a complex network of waterways, including the broad Blind River and meandering channels like Mississippi Bayou and Dutch Bayou. Human industry is etched into this aqueous landscape through the presence of the Lake Maurepas Oil Field and an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to earlier logging or transport efforts through the marsh. This 1962 topography also captures the precise, man-made straightness of the Reserve Relief Canal, contrasting with the winding natural bayous. The boundary between Livingston Parish and St. John the Baptist Parish is noted as an indefinite line through the open water, reflecting the shifting nature of the shoreline and the challenge of surveying this saturated terrain.
