Examine the area for a mile or two in each direction, all the way to the water—that is the Mississippi River that flows into the Gulf of Mexico! Zoom in and explore the factory complex areas in Geismar and the surrounding areas. Look for the following features in the area: manufacturing plant with chemical storage areas; tractor trailer trucks making pickups/deliveries; oil storage tanks; gas storage tanks; parking area; Mississippi River; barges in the river; docks on the river for loading natural gas and oil; railroad lines; railroad oil tank cars; residential areas; school athletic fields; agricultural areas; oil and gas pipes from the river docks crossing above the roadway to the manufacturing plant. What visual evidence do you see of the oil and natural gas industry when viewing the area?

oil storage tanks = cylindrical shape tank
gas tanks = spherical shape tank
parking area = cars stand side by side
river = bending nature in linear form
barges = linear shape float in river with connected pipes
docks = artificial linear structure connect the land and water barges
rail road = strips across the linear lines
oil tank cars= cylindrical tanks connected with cars in horizontal form
residential area = well arranged square top with white color
athletic field = bare land with defined outline
agriculture area = well defined green patches of land
oil pipes = one or more linear thin cylindrical pipes in horizontal form
pipes crossing roadway = criscross of two linear lines one with black color with divider and other white
