1961 Map of Breton Sound
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
The Mississippi River delta dominates this 1961 survey, showing the complex web of bayous, sounds, and industrial outposts at the tip of Louisiana. The transition from the settled parishes near Chalmette and Pointe a la Hache to the distal reaches of Garden Island Bay reveals an economy tied to both the river and the sea. Along the lower riverbanks, historic fortifications like Fort Jackson and Fort St Philip stand near remote outposts such as Pilottown and Burrwood.
