About this map

Smith Bayou meanders through the marshy Cameron Parish shoreline in this 1982 orthophotomap, where the narrow coastal strand meets the expansive Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is defined by the transition from terrestrial wetlands to the open sea, reflecting the industrial character of the Louisiana coast during the early 1980s. Offshore activity is heavily documented, with numerous Platform and Platforms structures dotting the water, indicating the intensity of the period's energy extraction. Inland, the map records a Gas Well situated among the bayous and wetlands, providing a precise spatial record of the infrastructure that powered the local economy. This survey combines aerial photography with topographic data to map the intersection of natural coastal features and human engineering along the Gulf.
