About this map

North Turtle Bayou Gas Field and the surrounding marshlands of south Louisiana define this landscape during the mid-1990s. This territory, situated along the boundary of St Mary Parish and Terrebonne Parish, is characterized by a complex network of industrial infrastructure superimposed on a delicate aquatic environment. The map details an extensive system of pipelines and drill sites integrated into the natural wetlands, illustrating the intensification of energy extraction in the Atchafalaya basin area.

Navigational arteries like the Intracoastal Waterway and Bayou Chene serve as vital corridors for maritime transport, while smaller features such as Kent Bayou and Bayou Penchant wind through the terrain. The presence of Avoca Island in the northwest corner provides a rare point of named land amidst the prevailing waterways and Oil and Gas Field developments that dominate the local economy and geography.
