1973 Map of Lake Batola

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Lake Batola and the surrounding marshlands of Plaquemines Parish appear here in an orthophotomap format, blending traditional topographic data with aerial photography. The landscape is a complex web of water and land, dominated by tidal water bodies like Grand Lake, Petit Lake, and Shell Lake. Industrial activity is evident throughout the wetlands, particularly within the Delacroix Oil and Gas Field and the Pointe a la Hache Oil and Gas Field, where numerous drill holes and platforms are situated. The intricate hydrography of the region is defined by channels such as Long Bayou and Bayou Batola, which connect larger basins through narrow passages like Alligator Pass. These waterways, including Shrimp Lagoon and Pointe Fienne Bay, illustrate the coastal transition zone where the Aux Chenes River and False River meet the gulf-influenced marshes.
