The Atchafalaya Basin Floodway dominates this mid-1970s orthophotomap, showing a complex landscape where water and industry meet in the Louisiana swamplands. The settlement of Doris sits near the western edge, while a sprawling Oil and Gas Field is evidenced by numerous sludge pits, oil wells, and drill holes scattered across the basin floor. This map captures the intricate network of the Upper Grand River and Lake Mongoulois, linked by engineered waterways like the Blind Tensas Cut and Little Devil Cut.
