1892 Map of Creole

About this map

Trembling Prairie dominates the western half of this late-19th-century survey, a vast expanse of coastal marshland defined by its fluid boundaries and intricate hydrological network. This coastal landscape, compiled in 1891, reveals the complex interface of the Lafourche and Jefferson parish lines as they weave through a mosaic of tidal waters. The eastern portion of the map is a labyrinth of interconnected bays and bayous, where the larger Little Lake and Hackberry Bay give way to smaller, curiously named channels like John the Fool Bayou and Snail Bayou.
