1971 Map of Garden Island Pass
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The Pass A Loutre State Waterfowl Management Area dominates this early 1970s orthophotomap, showing the delicate and shifting sediment of the Mississippi River delta. This area is a complex network of wetlands and tidal channels, where Southeast Pass and Northeast Pass bifurcate at a point simply known as the Forks. The landscape reflects a dual identity of conservation and industry; while the marshlands provide habitat, the Block 6 Oil Field and scattered infrastructure like a Platform and Radio Tower indicate the active extraction economy of Plaquemines Parish.
