1979 Map of Rollover Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Rockefeller State Wildlife Refuge and Game Preserve dominates this coastal landscape along the Gulf of Mexico, where a complex network of wetlands and open water transitions into the sea. The 1970s terrain is defined by tidal influence and hydrological management, visible in features like the Dam near Rollover Lake and the straight line of Dyson Ditch in the eastern reaches. This orthophotomap provides a clear view of the shifting marshlands, where Flat Lake and the dual basins of East Constance Lake and Big Constance Lake serve as critical habitats within the refuge boundaries. Human presence is concentrated at the Refuge Camp and near the Pipeline Area, while the rest of the quadrangle remains a domain of winding waterways like Pigeon Bayou and North Bayou. The map captures the delicate interface of the Vermilion and Cameron Parish line as it existed before decades of coastal erosion and rising tides altered the southern shoreline.
