1953 Map of Timbalier Island

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Timbalier Island and its surrounding barrier features stand at the edge of the Gulf of Mexico, defining the boundary between the open sea and the protected waters of Timbalier Bay. In the mid-1950s, the landscape was heavily influenced by the offshore petroleum industry, notably at the Caillou Island Oil Field, which is marked by extensive networks of platforms, dolphins, and pilling.
