About this map

Hydraulic infrastructure and oil extraction dominate this coastal Jefferson County landscape as it appeared in the early 1960s. The marshy terrain between North Fork Taylor Bayou and South Fork Taylor Bayou is defined by a complex network of pumping stations and pipelines, signaling the region’s role in mid-century industrial expansion. Large-scale petroleum activity is concentrated at the Fannett Oil Field, the La Belle Oil Field, and the Big Hill Oil Field, where numerous wells and compressor stations dot the lowlands.
