1956 Map of Lake La Graisse

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Terrebonne Bay dominates the southern half of this coastal survey, where the Louisiana shoreline dissolves into an intricate network of marshes, lakes, and tidal passes. During the mid-1950s, this area was a primary site for resource extraction, evidenced by the presence of a Platform and an Oil Well situated amidst the shallow waters. The map details the complex hydrography of the region, including the large basins of Lake La Graisse and Lake Saint Jean Baptiste.
