1941 Map of Belle Isle

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Belle Isle stands as a prominent salt dome rising above the marshland of St Mary Parish as the 1940s began. This coastal landscape is defined by the massive Wax Lake Outlet project, a major flood control canal cutting south toward Atchafalaya Bay. Along the northern corridor, the Southern Pacific railroad and Highway 90 link established settlements and agricultural holdings, including Patterson, Calumet, and Ricohoe.
