About this map

The Atchafalaya Basin Floodway dominates this landscape, revealing the intricate water management of St. Martin and Iberia Parishes in the late 1960s. The map illustrates a dense network of natural bayous and man-made infrastructure, where the Old River and Bayou Long wind through swampy terrain marked by an extensive system of pipelines and canals. Economic activity is centered on the extraction of natural resources, evidenced by the Postillion Oil Field and Mystic Bayou Gas Field, with numerous drill holes dotting the marshes. Along the eastern edge, the Intracoastal Waterway (Alternate Route) serves as a vital shipping artery. The southwestern corner includes a portion of Grand Lake and the Attakapas Island State Wildlife Management Area, highlighting the region's importance as both an industrial corridor and a protected natural habitat.
