About this map

Vermilion Bay and the marshy expanses of the Iberia and Vermilion Parish line define this coastal landscape as it appeared in the early 1960s. The region is dominated by an intricate network of wetlands, where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts a straight path through the natural meanders of Bayou Petite Anse and Bayou Portage. Industrial activity in the Louisiana wetlands is marked by the Tigre Lagoon Oil and Gas Field and the South Tigre Lagoon Gas Field, highlighting the era's focus on resource extraction within the delta. Waterborne transit routes like the Avery Canal and Bayou Hebert connect inland marshes to the open bay. Notable landmarks along the shoreline include Champlain Point and Lake Cook, providing specific points of reference for those studying the evolving coastline and historical hydrology of these southern Louisiana parishes.
