1973 Map of Bay Coquette

About this map

Pelican Island and the marshy fringes of the Louisiana coast define this orthophotomap, showing the delicate interface between the Mississippi Delta and the Gulf of Mexico. In the early 1970s, this landscape was a hub of energy production, dominated by the Oil Field and numerous offshore structures, including platforms and an Oil Well. The map captures the industrial footprint on the coastal environment, featuring man-made alterations such as dams, a jetty, and several drill holes scattered through the wetlands of Bayou Trouve. The transition from the inland waters of Bay Coquette and Scofield Bayou to the open sea provides a detailed perspective on the region's topography before significant modern coastal erosion altered these landforms.
