About this map

Trembling Prairie dominates the low-lying coastal marshes of this 1892 survey, capturing the fragile landscape of the Louisiana gulf coast just a year before the devastating 1893 hurricane. The settlement of Cheniere Caminada is clearly delineated along the ridge, showing the positioning of buildings and community structure before it was largely destroyed by the storm. This map provides a critical geographic record of the region's topography, highlighting the intricate network of tidal inlets and waterways including Bayou Lafourche and Bayou Moreau.
