About this map

The low-lying wetlands of southern Louisiana are defined by a complex web of waterways and industrial infrastructure in the early 1960s. Bayou Lafourche and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway serve as the primary conduits for transportation and commerce, connecting major settlements like Houma, Raceland, and Lockport. The landscape is heavily marked by the region's energy economy, featuring the Lafourche Crossing Oil and Gas Field and the Raceland Oil and Gas Field, alongside numerous pumping stations and filtration plants required for life on the delta.
