1934 Map of Five Lakes

About this map

Starks Hill Camp stands as a lonely outpost within the water-dominated landscape of Cameron Parish in the mid-1930s. This survey, compiled from early Air Corps aerial photographs, reveals a coastal wilderness defined by the complex hydrology of Five Lakes and the winding course of North Bayou. The dominance of marshland is punctuated only by engineered waterways like the North Canal and Willow Bayou Canal, reflecting early attempts to manage the low-lying terrain. To the south, the Orange-Cameron Co Club House suggests the area's significance for local hunting or fishing associations. Scattered triangulation stations and benchmarks, such as BM TTr 40B and markers like Land and Eron, provide the primary evidence of human mapping and presence across the soft, saturated ground.
