1953 Map of Timbalier Island

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Timbalier Island and the surrounding barrier landscape of the Louisiana coast are captured here during a period of significant industrial expansion. The development of the Caillou Island Oil Field is clearly visible, marked by an intricate network of Oil Wells, pilings, and dolphins used for maritime navigation and extraction infrastructure. This maritime environment is defined by the interaction between the open Gulf of Mexico and the interior Terrebonne Bay.
