1959 Map of Osca Bayou
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The Atchafalaya River and its intricate network of bayous dominate this 1959 survey of the Louisiana wetlands. Industrial signatures of the era are clearly visible in the Happytown Oil Field and Plumb Bob Oil Field, which dot the marshy landscape alongside numerous water bodies like Whiskey Bay and Lake Warner. To the northeast, the settlement of Maringouin serves as a local hub, featuring the Maringouin Municipal Tank and several community institutions including Little Zion Ch and the Maringouin Sch. The Texas and Pacific RR runs parallel to Bayou Grosse Tete, illustrating the transport corridor that linked these isolated communities to the broader region. Small landings and cemeteries like St Peter Cem and Butte La Rose Cemetery provide essential markers for genealogical research in this aquatic landscape.
