About this map

The Lapeyrouse Oil and Gas Field dominates the marshy landscape of Terrebonne Parish in the mid-1960s, reflecting the industrial footprint of petroleum extraction in the Louisiana wetlands. Numerous Gas Wells and drill holes are scattered throughout the inundated terrain, where the transition from solid land to open water is defined by a dense network of waterways. Water management and navigation are highlighted by the Bush Canal and the natural flows of Bayou Terrebonne and Bayou Petit Caillou.
