1944 Map of Empire
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
Port Sulphur and the Mississippi River dominate this deltaic landscape of Plaquemines Parish as it appeared in the late 1930s. The region is defined by a thin ribbon of habitable land protected by levees, where settlements like Empire, Buras, and Nairn cling to the river's edge. Beyond the immediate riverbanks, the terrain dissolves into an intricate network of marshes, canals, and bays, including California Bay and Quarantine Bay.
