1998 Map of Bay Dosgris

About this map

Industrial energy infrastructure and coastal wetlands define this late 20th-century landscape on the boundary of Jefferson Parish and Lafourche Parish. The region is a complex network of marshes and water bodies including Little Lake, Bay Dosgris, and Hackberry Bay, heavily influenced by the extraction economy of the Manila Village Oil and Gas Field and the Bay De Chene Oil and Gas Field. Numerous offshore platforms are mapped throughout these waterways, connected by channels like Coffee Bayou and the prominent Barataria Waterway. Significant for local history, the Alombro Cem sits near the confluence of Snail Bayou and Bayou L'Ours. This survey documents a precarious environment where human industry, represented by extensive oil fields and a Radio Tower, operates within a fluid geography of indefinite boundaries and shifting bayous.
