1953 Map of Dog Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Dog Lake and its surrounding marshlands define this coastal landscape in the mid-20th century, revealing an intricate network of Louisiana waterways and early petroleum development. The interplay between land and water is highlighted by the Dog Lake Oil Field and the Four Isle Bayou Oil and Gas Field, which signal the industrial footprint within the wetlands. Named features like China Island, Lake Becasse, and Hackberry Lake populate a terrain dominated by bayous, including the prominent Grand Caillou Bayou and Colyell Bayou. This area is noted for its subsidence, reflecting the evolving geomorphology of Terrebonne Parish. Navigational markers such as a Radio Tower and various passes, including Grand Pass des Ilettes and Pass des Ilettes, provide essential orientation through the complex deltaic environment.
