1970 Map of Lake Point

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Russell Sage Foundation-Marsh Island State Wildlife Refuge dominates this coastal survey, where the Louisiana shoreline gives way to a network of marshes and water bodies. This 1970 revision captures the industrial presence of the Lake Sand Gas Field and the East Lake Sand Oil and Gas Field, with numerous platforms and a Light marking the navigable waters. The geography is defined by the narrow finger of Marsh Island, separating West Cote Blanche Bay from the open water. A significant geopolitical detail is the Indefinite (In Litigation) Boundary dividing Iberia Parish and St. Mary Parish. Researchers of maritime and industrial history will find specific waterways like Hawkins Bayou and East Pass well-documented, alongside natural features such as Shell Reefs and the prominent Lake Point.
