1973 Map of Lake Batola

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Lake Batola and the intricate coastal wetlands of Plaquemines Parish appear in this early 1970s orthophotomap, showing a landscape dominated by tidal hydrology and industrial extraction. The transition between open water and marsh is traced through named passages such as Alligator Pass and Bayou Long, which connect larger bodies like Grand Lake to the labyrinthine network of the delta. This era represents a period of significant activity for the energy industry in south Louisiana, evidenced by the expansive Delacroix Oil and Gas Field and several scattered Drill Holes. The map provides an overhead view of the fragile marsh structure before decades of coastal erosion, preserving the location of local landmarks like The Garigue and the winding Aux Chenes River.
