2012 Map of Lac des Allemands

About this map

Lac des Allemands dominates this coastal Louisiana landscape, where the intersection of natural bayous and industrial infrastructure reveals the region's 21st-century character. The map illustrates a complex hydraulic network where natural waterways like Bayou Chevreuil and Bayou Boeuf meet a precise grid of man-made channels including the Saint Charles Canal and Little Pecan Tree Canal. This systematic drainage and navigation system supports the area's extensive energy industry, clearly marked by the Lucy Gas Field, Lake Lucy Gas Field, and Lacs Des Allemands Gas Field. Shoreline features such as Pointe aux Herbes and Fausse Pointe define the lake's western edge, while Knights Bay Island sits near the northern inlets. This survey provides a precise record of the Louisiana wetlands during a period of active resource extraction and water management.
