About this map

Bay Dosgris and the surrounding marshlands of Lafourche and Jefferson Parishes define this landscape of tidal bays and interconnected bayous in the mid-1990s. The region is dominated by an extensive energy infrastructure, visible through the numerous platforms and surveyed boundaries of the Plum Point, Manila Village, and Bay De Chene oil and gas fields. This maritime environment is a complex network of waterways, where the Barataria Waterway and Grand Bayou provide essential passage through the wetlands.

Evidence of the area's social history is preserved at the Alombro Cem, a small burial ground situated near Live Oak Bay. The map captures the delicate balance between the natural flow of Snail Bayou or Coffee Bayou and the industrial imprint of the late 20th-century petroleum industry. Surveyed points like Upt, Jos, and Hackberry 4 provide navigational anchors across the transition from Little Lake to the open waters of Hackberry Bay.
