1974 Map of Oyster Bayou

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Point Au Fer Island dominates this mid-1970s orthophotomap, showing the delicate intersection of Louisiana's marshland and industrial infrastructure. The landscape is defined by the winding waters of Oyster Bayou and Mosquito Bayou, where the historic Oyster Bayou Lighthouse stands near the small settlement of Oyster. This era of the Gulf coast is characterized by the integration of natural waterways with man-made alterations, including the Little Caillou Canal and a prominent Pipeline Canal that cuts through the island.
