About this map

Mermentau Lake and Collicon Lake dominate this coastal Louisiana landscape, illustrating a complex web of wetlands and waterways. The map documents the extensive industrial infrastructure of the region, featuring the Pecan Lake Gas Field, Twin Island Oil Field, and the South Pecan Lake Oil and Gas Field. These energy resources are situated within a delicate ecosystem of bayous and chenieres, including Southwest Bayou and the ridge of Cheniere du Fond.

Navigational and drainage features such as Round Lake Canal and Blackfish Canal connect larger bodies like Round Lake and Blackfish Lake to the broader estuary system. Local landmarks like Eagle Island, High Island, and Twin Island rise above the marsh, providing critical orientation points in a territory defined more by water than land. This 2012 survey captures the intersection of natural wetland hydrology and the engineered footprints of the Gulf Coast's petroleum industry.
