About this map

Indian Mound stands as a central landmark in this coastal landscape of St. Bernard Parish, where the complex transition from marsh to open water is meticulously charted. The map reveals an intricate network of navigable waterways including Bayou La Loutre and Bayou Petre, which weave through a series of shallow basins such as Lake Eugenie and Christmas Camp Lake. This 1895 survey captures the region long before modern coastal erosion and canal dredging significantly altered the shoreline. Notable maritime features such as Morgan Harbor and Twilight Harbor appear alongside uniquely named water bodies like Fishing Smack Lake, reflecting the local fishing and trapping culture of the Louisiana wetlands. The topography is characterized by low-lying elevations, with the entire area sitting less than five feet above sea level.
