1993 Map of Buras
USGS Topo · Published 1994About this map
Buras occupies a narrow strip of land between the massive Mississippi River and the complex wetlands of the Louisiana coast in the early 1990s. The settlement is defined by its maritime and riverine infrastructure, featuring the Buras Boat Harbor, a Lock at Ostrica, and a continuous Levee system protecting the local High Sch and Cem. This landscape reveals the intense industrialization of the Mississippi Delta, where natural waterways like Scofield Bayou and Bayou Crapaud coexist with the sprawling West Bastian Bay Oil and Gas Field.
