About this map

West Bay Oil and Gas Field and Block 54 Oil and Gas Field dominate this coastal survey of the Mississippi River Delta region. Located in the southernmost reaches of Plaquemines Parish, the landscape is defined by the transition from the open Gulf of Mexico into the protected waters of West Bay. The intricate network of tidal outlets, including Pass Du Bois and Pass la Graisse, highlights the delicate interplay between river siltation and maritime energy infrastructure. Numerous offshore platforms are mapped throughout the area, marking the extent of late-twentieth-century industrial expansion into the coastal marshes and shallow bays. This edition captures the shifting geography of a region where man-made structures are fixed points in an otherwise fluid environment of evolving passes and submerged fields.
