1892 Map of Bonnet Carre

USGS Topo · Published 1928

About this map

The low-lying wetlands of southern Louisiana dominate this late-nineteenth-century survey, defined by the sweeping curve of Lake Pontchartrain and its connection to Lake Maurepas. The landscape is a complex network of bayous, including Bayou La Branche and Bayou Trepagnier, illustrating the delicate hydrological balance of the Mississippi River delta. The Bonnet Carre Crevasse serves as a stark reminder of the river's power, marking a significant break in the levee system that historically altered the local terrain.
