About this map

Maringouin and Musson sit at the eastern edge of this mid-century survey, where the Texas and Pacific railroad follows the course of Bayou Grosse Tete. This area of the Atchafalaya Basin is defined by the complex movement of water through the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway, featuring substantial engineered works like the Whiskey Bay Pilot Channel and the Butte La Rose Cutoff. The landscape is a mix of dense bayous and industrial extraction, with several active petroleum sites including the Happytown Oil Field, Bayou des Glaises Oil Field, and Plumb Bob Oil Field. Local life centers around riverside settlements and parish landmarks like St Joseph Ch & Cem and the combined Lower Maringouin Sch-Ch & Cem, serving the families living near the junction of Pointe Coupee and Iberville Parish.
