About this map

Port Fourchon stands as the primary industrial hub on this coastal reach, serving as a critical jumping-off point for offshore energy operations in the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is dominated by the convergence of Bayou Lafourche and Belle Pass, where a dense network of oil tanks, heliports, and platforms illustrates the intensive maritime and industrial infrastructure required by the surrounding oil and gas fields. Coastal engineering is evident in the prominent Seawall and various submerged pipelines that traverse the marshy inlets. This 1994 survey captures the area after significant development, showing how the natural hydrology of Timbalier Bay and Bay Champagne has been integrated with the commercial demands of the Block 2 Oil and Gas Field. The map provides a detailed look at the interface between the fragile wetlands of Lafourche Parish and the heavy industrial footprint of the petroleum industry during the late twentieth century.
