About this map

Ft Livingston stands as a sentinel overlooking Barataria Pass, marking a landscape defined by the shifting barrier islands of Jefferson Parish during the late 1940s. The settlement at Grand Isle is clearly delineated at the southwestern corner, showing the residential layout and State Highway No 620 before the significant coastal changes of the late 20th century. The map provides a detailed view of the complex waterway systems within Barataria Bay, including numerous bays like West Champagne Bay and East Champagne Bay. Notable navigational aids and landmarks such as the Barataria L. H. and various triangulation stations like Champagne 3 and Abel 2 are recorded, reflecting the area's importance for maritime traffic and military history. The intricate network of bayous, including Rigaud Bayou and Bayou Fifi, illustrates the delicate balance of this marshy coastal environment.
