1956 Map of Lake La Graisse

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Terrebonne Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the intricate network of salt marshes and open water illustrates the volatile geography of the Louisiana shoreline. The map captures a landscape defined by movement and transition, from the narrow Seabreeze Pass to the broader expanse of Lake La Graisse. The presence of a Pipeline, a Platform, and an Oil Well signals the early industrial footprint of the petroleum industry within these wetlands during the mid-20th century. Waterways like Bayou Terrebonne and Pass Barre provide the primary structure for navigation through a maze of named features including Lake Saint Jean Baptiste and Bay Lost Reef, reflecting the region's historical reliance on waterborne travel and marine resources.
