1892 Map of Barataria

USGS Topo · Published 1898

About this map

Bayou Barataria serves as a central artery through this delta landscape in the final decade of the nineteenth century, where the boundaries of Jefferson, Plaquemines, and Lafourche parishes meet. This survey captures a hydrological network shaped by the winding Mississippi River and the expansive waters of Lake Ouacha or Salvador. The map reveals the early industrial footprint of the region via the N O F J & G I R R railroad, which cuts across the marshland.
