1971 Map of Pass Tante Phine

About this map

Venice Oil Field dominates the upper right of this deltaic landscape, where the terrestrial environment of Plaquemines Parish gives way to the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This 1971 survey captures an industrial shoreline defined by an intricate network of canals and pipelines that cut through the marsh. The map illustrates the intensive development of the petroleum industry during the early 1970s, featuring numerous oil wells, platforms, and sludge pits. Essential maritime and aviation infrastructure, including a Radio Tower and a Seaplane Ramp, support operations along Tiger Pass. Between these industrial corridors, the natural drainage of Bayou Alphonse, Bayou L'Outre, and Jacques Bayou persists, feeding into expansive coastal features like Sandy Point Bay and Bay Tambour. This orthophotomap provides a clear view of the shifting balance between natural bayous and human-engineered water ways.
