1994 Map of Eastern Isles Dernieres

About this map

Isles Dernieres stretches across the southern reach of this coastal survey, showing a landscape defined by erosion and industry in the early 1990s. The barrier islands, including Trinity Island and East Island, are separated by shifting channels like Coupe Juan and Wine Island Pass. This era represents a significant period of offshore extraction, with the Lake Pelto Gas and Oil Field and the Block 8 Gas Field dominating the waters of Lake Pelto and the Gulf of Mexico. Numerous offshore platforms and a Radio Mast are charted, indicating the dense infrastructure required for maritime energy production. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the open waters of Terrebonne Bay and Bay Blanc, with internal waterways like Bodwin Cutoff and Pass la Poule providing passage through the marshy fringes of Louisiana's Terrebonne Parish.
