1982 Map of Hackberry Beach

About this map

Hackberry Beach stretches along the Louisiana coast in this orthophotomap, showing the thin ribbon of land separating the Gulf of Mexico from the wetlands of Lower Mud Lake. The imagery, based on aerial photography from the mid-1970s and edited in the early 1980s, highlights an industrial landscape defined by energy extraction and maritime navigation. Multiple offshore platforms and an inland Gas Well underscore the region's role in the petroleum industry, while numerous lights and beacons mark the shoreline for coastal traffic. This document is particularly valuable for researchers tracking coastal erosion and land loss in Cameron Parish, as it captures the precise positioning of the shoreline and the marshy inlet of Hog B before later decades of environmental change. The map's photographic base provides a literal view of the vegetation and sediment patterns of this coastal boundary during the early 1980s.
