1941 Map of Cut-Off

About this map

Bayou Lafourche serves as the central artery for this coastal landscape, where narrow strips of settlement like Larose and Cut-Off follow the river's high ground before giving way to the surrounding marsh. The map captures a moment of significant agricultural and industrial modification in the wetlands, most notably at Delta Farms and Clovelly Farms, where extensive canal systems and reclaimed land projects are clearly documented. These agrarian developments are contrasted by the natural expanses of Lake Salvador and Catahoula Bay to the east.
