1954 Map of Constance Bayou NW

About this map

North Island and the surrounding marshlands of Cameron Parish define this coastal landscape as it was documented in the early 1930s. The area is characterized by an intricate network of waterways and isolated higher ground, such as Money Island and the enigmatic stretch labeled No Mans Land. At Tiger Island, small settlements like Miller and the North Island Sch indicate a remote community reliant on the marsh's geography. The presence of the North Island Canal cutting through the terrain suggests early 20th-century efforts to manage water or facilitate transport through these wetlands. Large open water bodies like Deep Lake and the winding course of Constance Bayou dominate the southern portion of the sheet, providing a clear record of the hydrologic patterns before modern coastal changes.
