1953 Map of Bay Dosgris
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Bay De Chene Oil Field dominates the southeast reaches of this coastal Louisiana landscape, where the shifting boundary between Jefferson Parish and Lafourche Parish winds through a complex network of marsh and open water. In the early 1950s, this region was a hive of industrial activity centered on resource extraction, evidenced by the numerous Oil Wells, platforms, and a Submerged Pipeline cutting across the wetlands. The intricate hydrology is defined by the heavy flow of Grand Bayou and the smaller, twisting channels of Manila Bayou and Snail Bayou. A solitary Radio Tower stands as a landmark amidst the salt marshes, while significant water bodies like Little Lake and Bay Dosgris provide the primary geographic framework. This survey captures a moment when the coastal marsh was being heavily partitioned by industrial infrastructure, just as modern navigation and extraction techniques were reshaping the delta's geography.
