1973 Map of Wilkinson Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

The coastal wetlands of the Jefferson and Plaquemines Parish line are captured here in an era of intensive energy extraction and hydraulic engineering. The Manila Village Oil Field and various Oil and Gas Fields dominate the aquatic landscape, marked by numerous Drill Holes and offshore Platforms that sit among the tidal marshes. This orthophotomap provides a literal view of the shifting shoreline, where the Barataria Waterway and the Wilkinson Canal cut through the native hydrologic patterns to facilitate navigation and industry.
