About this map

Lake Salve lies at the center of this intricate wetland environment in St. Mary Parish and Terrebonne Parish, where a dense network of waterways defines the landscape before it opens into Atchafalaya Bay. The complex hydrology of the mid-1960s is evidenced by the convergence of major arteries like the Big Wax Bayou and Lower Atchafalaya River with smaller, winding channels such as Fishtrap Bayou and Myrtle Bayou. Named terrestrial high points like Beadles, Live Oak Hammock, and the Wetfoot Hammocks emerge from the surrounding marsh, providing critical footing in an otherwise fluid geography. The presence of several Oil Wells and a prominent Pipeline corridor near Chicken Island Bayou reflects the era's active industrial footprint within the Louisiana coastal marshes.
