USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Abbeville serves as the focal point of this coastal Louisiana survey, where the Vermilion River snakes southward toward the marshlands and Vermilion Bay. The landscape is a complex network of natural bayous and man-made canals, reflecting an economy built on both water-based transport and the extraction industry. To the east, the Erath Oil and Gas Field and a nearby oil refinery mark the mid-century industrial footprint, while the Southern Pacific railroad connects settlements like Erath and Nunez.
