2012 Map of Burrwood Bayou East

About this map

Industrial infrastructure meets the vast maritime reaches of the Mississippi River Delta on this 2012 survey of the Louisiana coast. The geography is dominated by the SW Pass, a critical shipping artery where the river enters the Gulf of Mexico. This particular section of Plaquemines Parish reflects a landscape defined by energy extraction and specialized logistics, featuring the Block 83 Oil Field and the Block 27 Oil Field. A specialized facility, the E-5 Tank Battery Seaplane Base, provides insight into the remote transportation and support network required to maintain these offshore and marshland energy operations. The waterway of Burrwood Bayou threads through the low-lying terrain, illustrating the delicate balance between the natural delta environment and the human-engineered infrastructure essential for the regional oil and gas economy.
