About this map

Dog Lake Oil and Gas Field and the surrounding marshlands of Terrebonne Parish define this coastal landscape at the end of the 20th century. The terrain is an intricate network of waterways and fragmented landmasses, featuring landmarks like China Island and several industrial installations including the Four Isle Dome Oil and Gas Field and the Pass Des Ilettes Gas Field.

Mapping by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development documents a region dominated by resource extraction. Local navigation is marked by numerous platforms, the winding path of the Bayou, and distinct navigational aids such as Missile and Four. The survey reveals the extensive footprint of the energy industry on the fragile Louisiana wetlands, providing a precise record of well sites and pipelines established before the turn of the millennium.
