About this map

Mississippi R meanders through the northeast corner of this coastal landscape, bordered by settlements like Jesuit Bend and Gloria. Surveyed just before the Second World War, the map documents a transition between the river-bound communities and the deep wetlands of the delta. The fishing and trapping hub of Barataria sits at a strategic junction near the Lafitte P O, where local education was anchored by Fisher Sch No 1 and Fisher Sch No 2.
