1971 Map of Dixon Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Southwest Pass serves as the dominant navigational artery in this 1971 orthophotomap, cutting through the marshy transition of the Mississippi River Delta. The landscape is a complex network of waterways, where the industrial presence of the Block 53 Oil and Gas Field and Block 24 Oil Field meets the protected wetlands of the Pass A Loutre State Waterfowl Management Area. Numerous offshore Platforms and Sludge Pits dot the area, connected by specialized infrastructure such as a Helicopter Pad and a Radio Tower.
