1966 Map of Lake Cataouatche East
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Lake Cataouatche and Lake Salvador dominate this mid-century topographic portrait of the wet Louisiana lowlands along the border of Jefferson and St. Charles Parishes. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of engineered waterways and natural bayous, illustrating the era's intensive industrialization of the marsh. Extraction activities are prominent, with the Couba Island Oil Field and Bayou Villars Oil Field marked by numerous drill holes and specialized access canals like the Bayou Couba Oil Field Canal. Transport and drainage infrastructure is equally visible through the Avondale Outflow Canal and the critical Intragcoastal Waterway in the southeast corner. Despite the industrial footprint, local landmarks like Woods Place and various pumping stations hint at the persistent human management required to maintain these tidal wetlands.
