1968 Map of False Mouth Bayou

About this map

Lake Borgne dominates this coastal landscape, showing the expanse of the eastern St. Bernard Parish marshlands as they appeared in the late 1960s. The southeastern corner of the map reveals a fragile network of wetlands within the Biloxi State Wildlife Management Area, where the transition from open water to marsh is defined by tidal channels and interior basins. Coastal researchers and local historians can trace the specific courses of False Mouth Bayou and Magill Bayou as they drain into the lake. This survey, revised in 1968, preserves the intricate shoreline of the Lakes of Bayou Marron and the Magill Lagoon before decades of coastal erosion and subsidence further altered these waterways. A single Light serves as a navigational reference point in an otherwise undeveloped aquatic environment.
