About this map

Belle Isle rises above the surrounding marshlands of St. Mary Parish in this mid-1960s survey, marking a distinct geological and industrial focal point where the wetlands meet Atchafalaya Bay. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of navigable waterways, including the broad Wax Lake Outlet and the meandering Hog Bayou. This era of the Louisiana coast is characterized by significant energy infrastructure, evidenced by the Hog Bayou Gas and Oil Field and the Big Wax Gas and Oil Field, with pipelines and platforms interspersed among natural features like Negro Hammock and Fivemile Oaks.
