2012 Map of Burrwood Bayou West

About this map

Burrwood Oil Field and the complex infrastructure of the Mississippi River Delta dominate this coastal survey. Located in the southernmost reaches of Plaquemines Parish, the landscape is defined by the thin strips of land flanking SW Pass as it meets the Gulf of Mexico. The map documents a specialized maritime and industrial environment where oil extraction and aviation support the local economy. Notable installations include the E-8 Tank Battery Seaplane Base, which highlights the logistical reliance on water-based transport in this deltaic terrain. The presence of Mud Bay and Stake Island Bayou illustrates the shifting, water-dominant geography of the birdfoot delta, where human industry and natural tidal flows constantly interact.
