1951 Map of Cheniere Au Tigre

About this map

Cheniere au Tigre stands as a distinct coastal settlement along the Gulf of Mexico, defined by its remote location at the edge of Bill Ridge. In the early 1950s, this landscape was dominated by expansive wetlands and protective reserves, including the Paul J Rainey Wildlife Sanctuary and the State Game Refuge. The intricate network of waterways like Fearman Lake and Southwest Pass illustrates the coastal transition where the Vermilion Bay meets the open sea. Human activity in this marshy environment is evidenced by the Pirogue Trail and landmarks like Lighthouse Point, reflecting an era focused on conservation and maritime navigation. The presence of a Cem near the coast hints at the long-standing community ties to this isolated ridge, while named features such as Deadman Island and Hell Hole speak to the challenging character of the Louisiana wetlands before modern development shifted the coastline.
