1966 Map of Patterson

Industrial development is prominent throughout the quadrangle, notably within the Bateman Lake Gas and Oil Field and along the Intracoastal Waterway, where numerous oil wells and drill holes are documented. Beyond the developed corridors, the map reveals an intricate network of southern Louisiana waterways, including Little Wax Bayou, Oak Bayou, and Thompson Bayou, which carve through the wetlands south of Sixmile Lake. Landmarks such as the Williams Memorial Airport and a Fish Hatchery near the river highlight the era's local infrastructure.
