1994 Map of Lake Tambour

About this map

The coastal wetlands of Terrebonne Parish are defined by an intricate network of waterways and industrial infrastructure in the mid-1990s. The landscape is dominated by the Lapeirouse Oil and Gas Field, where numerous numbered well sites and platforms are interspersed throughout the marsh. This area, located south of the main Houma region, shows the heavy integration of energy extraction within the estuarine environment. Significant bodies of water like Lake Tambour and Lake Barre provide context for the shifting shoreline, while Bayou Terrebonne and Bayou Petit Caillou serve as primary north-south corridors. Smaller features such as Madison Bay and Grand Bayou Bourbeux illustrate the fragmented nature of the marshlands. Further south, the Seabreeze Pass Gas Field marks the transition toward more open waters, highlighting the vital role of the Bush Canal in navigating these tidal reaches.
