About this map

Mandalay National Wildlife Refuge dominates the southern reaches of this Louisiana landscape, where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through an intricate network of marshes and open water like Lake Hatch. The region is defined by a dense industrial footprint of petroleum extraction, with extensive areas designated as the Orange Grove Oil and Gas Field and Hollywood Oil and Gas Field, marked by numerous drill holes and gas wells. To the north, the terrain transitions to the agricultural and residential corridors along Bayou Black, where the Southern Pacific railroad follows the natural curves of the waterway.
