1892 Map of Cut-Off

About this map

Bayou Lafourche serves as the primary artery through this coastal landscape, where the interplay of natural waterways and early navigation improvements is clearly visible. Small settlements like Lacroix, Harang, and Cut-Off line the banks of the bayou, reflecting a distribution pattern tied closely to the water. The map reveals an extensive network of marshes and prairies, including the Grand Prairie des Allemands and the Trembling Prairie, punctuated by engineered features such as the Company Canal and the State Cut Off Canal. To the east, the large expanse of Lake Ouacha or Salvador meets the marsh at Temple Bay and Catahoula Bay, separated by the Isle of Day. These topographic details record the early infrastructure of the parish before modern flood control and drainage projects significantly altered the hydrology of the Mississippi River delta.
