About this map

The marshlands and interlocking waterways of the Jefferson Parish and Lafourche Parish line define this coastal landscape as it was surveyed in the mid-1930s. The territory is dominated by expansive water bodies like Little Lake and Bay Dosgris, connected by a complex system of natural channels including Grand Bayou and Old Grand Bayou. This survey serves as a vital record of the Louisiana coastline before significant 20th-century coastal erosion and canal dredging altered the hydrology of the region.
