About this map

Cheniere du Fond stands as a primary point of human activity within this 1970s orthophotomap of the Louisiana marshlands. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of natural and engineered waterways, including the Grand Lake shoreline and the Old Intracoastal Waterway. Industrial footprints are deeply integrated into the terrain, evidenced by the Pecan Lake Gas Field and the South Pecan Lake Oil and Gas Field, which are marked by access roads and sludge pits carved into the wetlands. Named features like Eagle Island, High Island, and the Little Islands highlight the subtle elevation changes that dictate survival in this amphibious environment. Geographers and local historians can trace the intersection of coastal ecology and energy extraction through features like Blackfish Bayou and the man-made Round Lake Canal during a period of significant wetland development.
