1973 Map of Lake Cuatro Caballo

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Lake Cuatro Caballo and its surrounding wetlands define this orthophotomap of the coastal marshes in the early 1970s. The landscape is a complex web of bayous, lakes, and lagoons marking the border between St Bernard Parish and Plaquemines Parish. Key waterways like Bayou Terre Aux Boeufs and River Aux Chenes carve through the sediment, while named features such as Pintail Flat and Grassy Point rise above the tide. Several industrial markers, labeled as Drill Holes and Gas Wells, are scattered across the marsh, reflecting the mid-century energy exploration that moved into these remote reaches. The map captures the area just as the Geological Survey noted it was within a subsidence area, providing a precise record of these shifting shorelines near Lake Campo and Lake Jean Louis Robin.
