1964 Map of Pointe a La Hache

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Mississippi River dictates the entire layout of this Plaquemines Parish landscape, with a dense string of historic settlements and plantations clinging to the narrow natural levees. From Belair and the Beaumar Plantation down through Pointe a la Hache, human activity is concentrated between the riverbank and the expansive marshlands of the east bank. This mid-century survey reveals a transition from traditional river-bound life to industrial extraction, shown by the Delacroix Island Oil and Gas Field and the Lake Hermitage Oil and Gas Field emerging from the wetlands.
