1937 Map of Derouen

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The salt domes of coastal Louisiana define the landscape of this 1937 survey, where the unique topography of Jefferson Island, Avery Island, and Weeks Island rises above the surrounding wetlands. These prominent elevations, surrounded by a complex network of marshes, were already centers of industry and community, featuring the Salt Mine at Avery Island and the botanical beauty of Jungle Gardens. The map meticulously details the transition between the freshwater and salt marshes, noting a line of demarcation that underscores the fluid nature of the Gulf Coast environment.
