1951 Map of Cheniere Au Tigre

About this map

Cheniere au Tigre stands as the primary human settlement in this coastal marshland, situated along the Blue Ridge near the edge of the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is a complex network of brackish water and low-lying terrain, featuring extensive conservation tracts such as the Paul J. Rainey Wildlife Sanctuary and the Russell Sage Foundation State Game Refuge. In the early 1950s, this area remained largely inaccessible by road, defined instead by maritime features like Lighthouse Point and the Pirogue Trail, the latter reflecting traditional coastal transportation through the wetlands.
