1961 Map of Oak Island

About this map

The eastern shores of Trinity Bay reveal a landscape defined by the intersection of the petroleum industry and coastal marshlands during the early 1960s. The map illustrates an extensive network of offshore infrastructure, including the Trinity Bay Oil Field and the North Fishers Reef Gas Field, with numerous drill holes and gas wells dotting the shallow waters. Inland, the community of Double Bayou serves as a local hub, featuring the Double Bayou Sch, St Paul Ch, and Mt Zion Ch.
