About this map

Gulf of Mexico coastal marshland dominates this 1954 survey of Cameron Parish, reflecting a landscape defined by tidewater and brackish lagoons. The intricate drainage patterns of Constance Bayou and Little Constance Bayou connect the interior wetlands to the open sea, illustrating the transition between the coastal prairie and the gulf. These water bodies, including the expansive Big Constance Lake and its smaller counterpart, Little Constance Lake, are critical features of this low-lying environment. Compiled from aerial photographs taken by the Air Corps, the map captures the primitive state of the Louisiana shoreline before extensive modern infrastructure altered the natural hydrological flow of the parish's chenier plain.
