About this map

The Atchafalaya Basin Floodway dominates this terrain, where a complex network of waterways defines life and industry in the late 1960s and 1970s. The settlement of Pigeon serves as a focal point along the Lower Grand River, supported by the Bayou Pigeon Mission and St Joan of Arc Ch. The landscape is a maze of natural bayous and man-made infrastructure, featuring the Intracoastal Waterway and the East Protection (Alternate Route) Levee. Beyond the primary settlements at Choctaw and Pumkin Point, the map reveals a heavy industrial presence within the Big Pigeon Bayou region. Numerous drill holes and a Gas Field are scattered across the wetlands, illustrating the extraction economy that operated alongside traditional river life at the Public Landing.
