1941 Map of Cut-Off

About this map

Bayou Des Allemands flows into the expansive Lake Salvador at the northern edge of this Lafourche Parish survey. The landscape is a intricate network of waterways, including the Company Canal and Harvey Canal No. 2, which supported the region's agricultural and maritime activities before the mid-century. Large-scale operations such as Delta Farms and Clovelly Farms occupy the lowlands, while small ribbon settlements like Larose and Cut-Off line the banks of the bayous. Local education and faith are anchored by numerous neighborhood landmarks, including Griffin Ch and Vacherie Sch. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the early layout of the Intracoastal Waterway, illustrating the critical role of canal-based transit in this wetland environment.
