1892 Map of Barataria

USGS Topo · Published 1931

About this map

Barataria sits at the heart of this coastal wetland landscape, where the intricate network of waterways defined the life and transport of the late nineteenth century. The map reveals the sinuous paths of Bayou Perot and Bayou Rigolettes as they snake through the marsh towards the southern basins. To the west, the expansive Lake Ouacha or Salvador dominates the horizon, while the eastern edge is marked by a narrow strip of development along the Mississippi River, including the tracks of the N. O. F. J. & G. I. R. R.
