1968 Map of Bayou Lucien

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Marsh Island dominates this coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape of southern Iberia Parish gives way to the Gulf of Mexico. Designated as the Russell Sage Foundation Marsh Island State Wildlife Refuge, the area is a labyrinth of brackish waterways and shallow basins, including Lake Jefferson and Lucien Lake. The map reveals a delicate coastal ecosystem defined by its drainage network, with Bayou Lucien and Big Charles Bayou snaking through the wetlands toward Vermilion Bay. Along the southern shoreline, the interaction between sea and silt is marked by hazards and landmarks such as Grosse Isle Point and several Shell Reefs, including Diamond Reef and Oyster Reef. Evidence of resource extraction appears in the form of an Oil Well and a Drill Hole, illustrating the early industrial presence in these protected coastal marshes.
