1892 Map of Chef Menteur
USGS Topo · Published 1892About this map
Ft Macomb stands as a sentinel at the junction of the Chef Menteur Pass and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, guarding the vital water route between Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne. This coastal landscape in the 1890s is dominated by the vast Prairie and Trembling marshlands, where rail lines provide the primary infrastructure through the wetlands. The small settlements of Micheaud and Lee appear as isolated stops along these corridors, while maritime navigation is supported by a Light House on the point known as Pt aux Herbes. Numerous waterways including Bayou Sauvage and Bayou Cochon thread through the terrain, illustrating the complex hydrology of eastern Orleans Parish before the era of intensive drainage and modern development.
