1993 Map of Bay Coquette

About this map

Pelican Island and the fragile marshes of the Mississippi River Delta dominate this coastal landscape, showing a region where the land dissolves into the Gulf of Mexico. This 1990s-era documentation highlights the heavy industrialization of the offshore environment, with an extensive Oil Field and numerous platforms and oil wells dotting the waters. The map reveals the intricate network of water transport and resource extraction, including the Scofield Bayou and a prominent Pipeline corridor. The presence of a Canal and Jetty underscores the human efforts to manage and navigate this shifting maritime boundary in Plaquemines Parish. For those researching the evolution of the Louisiana coastline, the layout of Bay Coquette and smaller features like Bayou Trouve provide a detailed look at the hydrology before significant modern land loss and subsidence.
