About this map

Vincent Island and the surrounding marshlands of Cameron Parish are captured here as they appeared in the mid-1930s. This coastal landscape is defined by its complex network of waterways, including Starks Canal and Hog Island Gully, which cut through the low-lying terrain north of Calcasieu Lake. On higher ground, the Hackberry Sch stands as a primary community landmark, while Back Ridge offers a slight elevation in an otherwise water-saturated environment. Surveyed just after the Air Corps provided aerial photography for more accurate drainage mapping, the sheet documents early infrastructure such as State Highway No 104. Named landmarks like China and Brown appear as triangulation stations or specific locales, serving as essential reference points for those tracing the historical geography of this section of coastal Louisiana before modern development significantly altered the shoreline.
