1998 Map of Bay L'Ours

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Little Temple Oil and Gas Field dominates the central portion of this 1990s coastal landscape, where the shifting boundaries of Jefferson and Lafourche Parishes meet amidst a network of canals and pipelines. The environment is defined by extensive wetlands and open water, notably Little Lake and Bay L'Ours, which are bisected by an Indefinite Boundary reflecting the dynamic nature of the Louisiana shoreline. Industrial activity is woven into the geography through scattered Oil Wells, Drill Holes, and offshore Platforms that support the local energy economy. Navigational markers like the Light near the southern shore and the Harvey Cutoff channel provide essential orientation for maritime transit between Bayou Perot and Turtle Bay.
