2012 Map of Mulberry Island West

About this map

Pecan Island Gas Field stands as the primary industrial feature in this coastal reach of Vermilion Parish, where the low-lying marshland meets the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of narrow waterways and access routes carved through the wetlands, supporting the region's energy extraction infrastructure. Central to the local hydrography is the Dewitt Canal, which cuts through the terrain to facilitate drainage and navigation. This 2012 survey illustrates the characteristic coastal Louisiana geography where industrial utility and natural tidal environments converge, providing a clear record of the man-made modifications required to manage and harvest resources from this specialized environment.
