About this map

The coastal marshes and barrier environments of Plaquemines Parish define this 1998 survey, where the intricate network of the Mississippi River Delta meets the Gulf of Mexico. This landscape is characterized by a high degree of industrial integration, with numerous Oil Wells, pipelines, and an extensive Oil Field cutting through the wetlands. The map highlights the reliance on waterborne transport in this region, featuring the Venice Canal, Pass Tante Phine, and a Seaplane Ramp near West Bay.

Dynamic shoreline features like Sandy Point and Sandy Point Bay demonstrate the shifting nature of the delta. Local navigation is traced through a complex system of bayous, including Alphonse Bayou and Francois Bayou, while inland water bodies like Yankee Pond and Fleur Pond break up the marshland. This document captures the infrastructure of the Louisiana energy corridor at the end of the 20th century.
