About this map

Port Eads anchors the southern tip of this coastal survey, situated where South Pass meets the Gulf waters near the East Jetty. The landscape is a complex network of active distributaries, including Dennis Pass, Cadro Pass, and Pass A Loutre, reflecting the dynamic deltaic environment of the late 20th century. Extensive industrial infrastructure is integrated into the marshlands, notably the large Oil and Gas Field and Block 27 Oil Field, supported by a web of pipelines and canals. Much of the central terrain is dedicated to the State Waterfowl Management Area, preserving vital habitat amidst the region's energy production. Named features like Loomis Pond and Sawdust Bend Bayou trace the intricate hydrology of the area, while the Waste Water Disposal Area and Sludge Pits highlight the operational footprint of the offshore and coastal petroleum industry during this era.
