About this map

Belle Isle rises above the surrounding marshlands of St. Mary Parish, serving as a prominent landmark in a landscape dominated by the Atchafalaya Bay. This region is defined by its intricate network of waterways, where the New Wax Lake Outlet and Little Wax Bayou channel water toward the Gulf. The map reveals the heavy industrial footprint of the mid-20th century energy sector, notably the Belle Isle Gas and Oil Field and the Bayou Sale Oil and Gas Field, marked by numerous pipelines and offshore platforms.
