About this map

Wallace Bayou Oil and Gas Field and several other significant energy production zones define this low-lying landscape south of Bayou Black. This part of Terrebonne Parish is characterized by a dense network of natural and engineered waterways, where the Burke Canal cuts through terrain dominated by the wandering paths of Bayou Chene and Kent Bayou. The map reveals a highly specialized industrial geography centered on extraction, with the North Kent Bayou Gas Field and Turtle Bayou Gas Field occupying the marshy interstices between larger water bodies. The prevalence of these named fields suggests a landscape deeply integrated into the state's petroleum economy. Navigable waters like Bayou Penchant serve as the primary structural features of the area, illustrating how local industry and hydrology are inextricably linked in this coastal environment.
