About this map

The Lacassine National Wildlife Refuge dominates the northwestern reaches of this 1980 orthophotomap, showing a complex network of wetlands where Bayou Lacassine and the Intracoastal Waterway intersect. The landscape is defined by its transition from open water to marshy ridges, with notable elevations like Onion Hill and Latania Hill rising above the surrounding Latania Lake and Mud Lake. This era shows the heavy footprint of energy extraction in Cameron Parish, evidenced by the Lakeside Oil and Gas Field and the Grand Lake Oil and Gas Field with its offshore platforms in Grand Lake. Natural features like Cypress Ridge, Wild Ridge, and Flat Ridge provide a glimpse into the topographical structure of the Louisiana coastline, while man-made cutoffs such as Long Cutoff and Short Cutoff reflect efforts to navigate and manage these tidal waters.
