About this map

The East Atchafalaya Protection Levee cuts a definitive line across the southwestern portion of this Iberville Parish landscape, separating the intricate wetland networks from the higher Upper Flat. This terrain is defined by its complex drainage and industrial presence, notably the Bayou Blue Oil and Gas Field and the Moonshine Field. A web of natural and man-made waterways like Grand Bayou, Bayou Maringouin, and the Trinity Canal illustrates the managed hydrology essential to this region of Louisiana. Local access is provided by several named rural routes, including Atchafalaya Basin Levee Rd and Alligator Rd, which skirt the edges of the basins and bayous. The map captures the intersection of natural alluvial features and the infrastructure of the local energy industry.
