1969 Map of Tiger Island

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Atchafalaya Basin Floodway dominates this landscape of the late 1960s, where the intricate hydrology of the Louisiana delta is captured in high detail. This map illustrates a complex network of waterways, including Cypress Pass and Sixmile Lake, which surround significant landforms like Tiger Island and American Island. The presence of the Duck Lake Oil and Gas Field indicates the industrial footprint within this wetland environment, characterized by numerous canals and pipelines that cut through the marsh. Protective conservation efforts are visible in the Attakapas Island State Wildlife Management Area, showing the balance between resource extraction and habitat preservation. Geographers and local historians can trace the seasonal and navigational significance of water bodies such as Duck Lake and the various bayous named for months of the year, including March Bayou and April Bayou.
