1940 Map of Allemands
USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
The low-lying wetlands of St Charles Parish and Lafourche Parish are defined here by a dense network of reclamation canals and bayous surveyed just before the 1940s. The settlement of Allemands and the Des Allemands Sta serve as the primary hubs, situated where the Southern Pacific railroad crosses the wide Bayou Des Allemands. This preliminary survey highlights a landscape in transition, where natural waterways like Bayou Crocodile and Grand Bayou are supplemented by a numbered grid of drainage projects, including Canal No 13 and Canal No 18, likely intended for agricultural expansion. Local life centers on the rail line and small outposts like Vallier and the St Charles Sch, while the surrounding marsh is dotted with islands such as Victor Island and the evocatively named Ile Du Prince Noir.
