About this map

Industrial infrastructure and coastal marshland define this 1970s orthophotomap of Plaquemines Parish. The Freeport Sulphur Co operations at Grande Ecaille anchor the southern landscape, revealing an intricate network of elevated pipelines and pipeline canals engineered to extract resources from the delta. This era of extraction is marked by the presence of the Rattlesnake Gas and Oil Field, where numerous drill holes and platforms dot the wetlands and open water.
