1971 Map of Burrwood Bayou East

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Southwest Pass serves as the dominant industrial artery in this 1971 orthophotomap of the Mississippi River Delta's edge. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the offshore petroleum industry, characterized by the extensive Block 83 Oil Field and Block 27 Oil Field which dot the surrounding waters. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this aerial-based study reveals the literal footprint of extraction, showing an Oil Well Platform, several Oil Wells, and a Sludge Pit near the shoreline.
