Historians Jason Theriot and Jacob Gautreaux have completed a unique research project that documents culturally important places in the Atchafalaya Basin lost to time. With a generous grant from the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area, the “Mapping the Basin” StoryMap project integrates images, maps, text, and video interview clips for an first-of-its kind exploration into the culture and livelihoods of the people of the Basin. By “Mapping the Basin,” the project intends to preserve the location and stories of these lost communities and the people who just two generations ago called the Basin home. The project includes interviews with Harold Schoeffler, Jim Delahoussaye, Harry Lange, and Cliff Legrange, in addition to some rare photographs from the Greg Guirard collection.
