1948 Map of Cypremort Point

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Marsh Island dominates the southern landscape of this coastal survey, where the Russell Sage Foundation State Game Refuge spans a complex network of wetlands and tidal channels. To the north, the waters of Vermilion Bay and West Cote Blanche Bay meet at the distinctive protrusion of Cypremort Point. The map documents early industrial activity in the Gulf, noting several Oil wells and platforms marked by Piling and Dolphin structures throughout the bays. On the island itself, a Conservation Camp is situated near the mouth of Bird I Bayou, illustrating the mid-century focus on wildlife management and coastal preservation. This survey captures a transitional moment for the Louisiana shoreline, detailing the shifting boundaries and maritime hazards like Terrapin Reef before later decades of erosion and development altered the coastal profile.
