About this map

Cote Blanche Island rises distinctly from the surrounding marsh and coastal waters, serving as a focal point for extraction in the Cote Blanche Island Oil and Gas Field. This 1970 survey, based on 1969 aerial photography, documents the industrial footprint of the era with numerous offshore platforms, a drill hole, and gas wells scattered across the maritime landscape. The geography is defined by the meeting of West Cote Blanche Bay and East Cote Blanche Bay, separated by landmarks such as Red Bluff and Marone Point. Coastal commerce and local transit are represented by Cote Blanche Landing, while the eastern portion of the sheet reveals a complex network of wetlands featuring Bayou Long, Bayou Carlin, and Hackberry Lake. The boundary between St. Mary Parish and Iberia Parish is also clearly delineated, cutting through the open waters of the bay.
