About this map

The Atchafalaya Basin Floodway dominates this landscape in the late 1960s, revealing an intricate network of waterways where the ST Martin Parish and ST Mary Parish lines intersect. Industrial development is evident through a central Oil and Gas Field and a series of pumping stations that suggest the intensive resource extraction typical of the era. The terrain is characterized by complex hydrology, with Duck Lake and Grand Lake connected by a maze of bayous including Little Bayou Chene and Big Bayou Chene. Extensive spoil areas along Cypress Island Pass and the southern reaches of Tiger Island indicate significant dredging and channel maintenance during this period. Local place names like Gray Horse Isle and Fisher Island provide a glimpse into the specific nomenclature of the Louisiana wetlands before further contemporary changes to the deltaic environment.
