About this map

Lake Raccourci and the surrounding marshlands of Lafourche Parish define this mid-century coastal landscape, dominated by an active Oil Field infrastructure. The map reveals an intricate network of waterways including Timbalier Bay, Little Lake, and the curiously named Wrong Name Pass. This era represents a period of significant industrial activity in the wetlands, evidenced by numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells scattered across the open water and marsh.
