1956 Map of Lake La Graisse

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Terrebonne Bay and the complex salt marshes of coastal Louisiana define this mid-century topographic study. The landscape is a fluid network of shallow basins and tidal channels, where Lake La Graisse and Lake Saint Jean Baptiste sit amidst fragmenting wetlands. The map documents the early infrastructure of the offshore industry, noting a platform, oil well, and various navigational aids like a daybeacon and multiple lights that guided vessels through these precarious waters.
