1998 Map of Pelican Pass

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

Industrial infrastructure meets a shifting deltaic landscape in this coastal survey of the Lake Raccourci Oil and Gas Field. Numerous offshore platforms dot the waters of Lake Raccourci and Lake Barre Oil and Gas Field, illustrating the heavy extraction activity in the Gulf marshes at the close of the 20th century. The topography is defined by fragmented landmasses like the Philo Brice Islands and Northwest Island, surrounded by a complex network of tidal openings including Pelican Pass and the curiously named Wrong Name Pass. The eastern edge reveals the intricate hydrology of Bayou Rosa and China Bayou as they feed into Little Lake. This map serves as a detailed record of the intersection between Louisiana's energy industry and its fragile marshland environments, including areas like Jacko Camp Bay and Pierle Bay.
