1971 Map of Pass Du Bois

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

West Bay Oil and Gas Field and its complex network of offshore infrastructure dominate this early 1970s orthophotomap of the Louisiana coast. Unlike traditional topographic sheets, this aerial-based survey uses photographic imagery to reveal the fragile, shifting marshlands and sediment-rich waters where the Mississippi Delta meets the Gulf of Mexico. The map documents the heavy industrial footprint of the era, with visible labels for Sludge Pits and various offshore Platforms that define the local economy.
