1979 Map of Cheniere Au Tigre

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Cheniere au Tigre sits as an isolated coastal ridge settlement overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, characterized by its distinct ribbon of dry land amidst the surrounding marsh. This orthophotomap, based on mid-1970s imagery, reveals a landscape defined by the intersection of conservation and industry. Large tracts are dedicated to the Paul J Rainey Wildlife Sanctuary and the State Wildlife Refuge, yet the terrain is heavily marked by a network of canals and energy infrastructure. The presence of the Nicks Lake Gas Field and Freshwater Bayou Gas Field, alongside numerous Drill Holes, illustrates the extent of petroleum exploration in the Vermilion Parish wetlands. Local history and genealogy interests are centered on the small cemetery marked Cem and the settlement of Sagrera, providing a record of habitation along the cheniere before late-century environmental shifts further altered the coastline.
