1960 Map of Empire
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The Mississippi River defines the structure of this Plaquemines Parish landscape, with settlements and industries clinging to the narrow natural levees between the river and the marshy bays. Just before the 1960s, the era was characterized by the intensive expansion of the petroleum industry alongside traditional river life. Extensive infrastructure for the Potash Oil Field, Lake Washington Oil Field, and Cox Bay Oil Field is visible, alongside numerous pumping stations and towers that supported the extraction of resources from the wetlands.
