About this map

Bay Batiste and the surrounding marshlands of Plaquemines Parish are defined by a complex network of bayous and canals during this mid-century period. Industrial activity in the wetlands is anchored by the Freeport Sulphur Co and the settlement of Grande Ecaille, where water-bound infrastructure was essential for operations. The landscape is a maze of tidal waters, including Bay Sans Bois and Barataria Bay, separated by low-lying features like Big Island. Significant transport and drainage routes like the Socola Canal and Bayou Dulac indicate the human effort to navigate and utilize this amphibious environment. Several smaller identifiers like Cantwell Depot and various survey points suggest specific localized activity points within the vast coastal reach.
