1892 Map of Cheniere Caminada

USGS Topo · Published 1910

About this map

Cheniere Caminada and the western tip of Grand Isle dominate this coastal survey of the Louisiana Gulf. Compiled from surveys by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey in the late 19th century, the landscape is defined by the intricate network of tidal passes and bayous that segment the low-lying Trembling Prairie. The map documents the geography of the region just prior to the devastating 1893 hurricane, showing the settlement pattern at Cheniere Caminada along the edge of Caminada Bay. Large water bodies like Timbalier Bay and Champagne Bay illustrate the fragile boundary between the mainland and the Gulf of Mexico. Significant waterways such as Bayou Lafourche and Bayou Moreau snake through the marshland, serving as the primary arteries for travel and trade in this maritime environment.
