About this map

The intricate coastal marshlands of the Jefferson Parish and Lafourche Parish boundary define this mid-century survey. Dominated by an expansive network of interconnected waterways and shallow bays, the landscape is centered on Bay Tambour and the vast Caminada Bay. The infrastructure of the Gulf's petroleum industry is evident through scattered Oil Wells, particularly near Lake Pierre.
