1969 Map of Pigeon

About this map

The Atchafalaya Basin Floodway dominates this landscape, illustrating the complex water management systems of southern Louisiana in the late 1960s. The settlement of Pigeon serves as a focal point along the Lower Grand River, where the Bayou Pigeon Mission and St Joan of Arc Ch anchor the community. The infrastructure here is defined by the Intracoastal Waterway and the East Protection Levee, which separate the inhabited areas from the sprawling marshlands and bayous. A network of industrial Canals and Pipelines cuts through the wetlands, supporting a series of Drill Holes and a Gas Field. Notable natural features include Lake Natchez, Pumkin Point, and the winding Chopin Chute. This survey captures a moment when traditional river life at the Public Landing coexisted with modern energy extraction and flood control engineering.
