Mississippi River transport and marshland drainage define this coastal landscape on the boundary of Jefferson Parish and Plaquemines Parish as it was surveyed just before World War II. The map details a transition from the industrial and agricultural riverbanks to the tidal wetlands of the west, where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through numerous bayous like Bayou aux Carpes and Bayou des Familles. The concentration of life along the river is evident in a string of settlements including Bertrandville, Oakville, and Cedar Grove, all linked by the Missouri Pacific railroad.
