About this map

The low-lying wetlands of southern Terrebonne Parish are defined here by a complex network of navigation and industrial waterways. Theriot serves as the primary settlement node, where community life centers on St Eloi Ch and the Du Large Sch along the banks of Bayou Du Large. This 1994 edition illustrates the heavy integration of oil and gas infrastructure within the natural hydrology of the Gulf Coast, featuring the Lake Hatch Oil and Gas Field and the East Lake De Cade Gas Field.

Linear features like the Marmande Canal, Falgout Canal, and a prominent Levee system highlight the human effort to manage water and access resources in this marshy landscape. Geographic landmarks such as Lake Theriot and Marmande Ridge provide stable reference points amidst a changing terrain of islands and canals, including the secluded Congo Island. The presence of a Pumping Station and Linnr Park further underscores the managed nature of this coastal environment.
