1994 Map of Lake Felicity

About this map

The Bayou Jean Lacroix Oil and Gas Field anchors the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, illustrating the industrial footprint within the Louisiana marshlands during the late twentieth century. This aquatic environment is defined by the expansive waters of Lake Felicity and Lake Chien, which are linked by the Grand Cut. The map details a complex network of waterways, including Bayou Tambour and Bayou Lacroix, which navigate the fragmented wetlands. The eastern boundary is marked by the parish line dividing Terrebonne Parish and Lafourche Parish, cutting through Lake Billiot and following the course of Felic-ity Bayou. To the south, the Fornation Islands sit at the edge of Lake Raccourci, showcasing a landscape where land and water are in constant flux, with features like Old Lady Lake and Lake du Diable highlighting the region's unique nomenclature.
