1973 Map of Bastian Bay
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
West Bastian Bay Oil and Gas Field dominates the hydraulic landscape of this Plaquemines Parish coastal area, where industrial engineering intersects with the delta's marshy reaches. The complex network of dredged waterways and artificial cuts is evident in the straight lines of Meyers Canal and numerous pipelines that cross natural features like Huertes Bayou and Bayou Grand. This orthophotomap transition reveals how the mid-century energy industry reshaped the barrier island and back-bay environment. Landmarks such as the Pumping Station near Chaland Bay and various offshore platforms indicate the active extraction economy of the 1970s. Along the Gulf of Mexico, fragile landforms like Bastian Island and Lanaux Island guard the entrance to Bastian Bay and Bay Joe Wise, showing the dynamic state of the Louisiana shoreline before decades of further coastal change.
