1953 Map of Belle Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Bayou Lafourche meets the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico at this critical coastal junction, where the transition from inland marsh to maritime environment is marked by shifting sandbars and man-made infrastructure. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of energy industry assets, with numerous platforms and oil wells dotting the offshore waters, supported by a network of submerged pipelines and a concentrated group of oil tanks near B. Tartellon. Navigation is aided by a Light positioned near the western edge of Belle Pass, a vital corridor between the wetlands and the sea.
