1973 Map of Pointe a La Hache

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this orthophotomap, its broad course flanked by narrow strips of cultivated land and riverfront settlements in Plaquemines Parish. On the east bank, the parish seat of Pointe a la Hache serves as a focal point for the region’s river-and-marsh economy, featuring the Pointe a la Hache Boat Harbor and a vital Ferry connection to the west bank. The landscape transitions abruptly from the structured geometry of riverside fields near Woodland and Magnolia into the intricate, water-logged expanses of the Pointe a la Hache Oil and Gas Field. Beyond the levees, the map reveals a complex network of bays including Wreck Bay and First Bay, alongside significant water bodies like Lake Judge Perez. Local heritage is anchored by landmarks such as the St Thomas Cem and St Thomas Chapel, which mark the long-standing communities along this dynamic reach of the river.
