About this map

Coastal wetlands and intricate waterway networks characterize this 1934 survey of the Cameron Parish shoreline. The landscape is defined by the Five Lakes cluster, a series of water bodies set within the expansive marsh. Human presence in this environment is represented by isolated outposts such as Stacks Hill Camp and the Orange-Cameron Co Club House near the southern boundary. These sites suggest a period when the area was primarily utilized for seasonal recreation, hunting, or early industrial exploration. The drainage pattern is heavily managed by features like the North Canal and the winding course of North Bayou, which connects to the Willow Old Bayou Canal. This topography, compiled in part from aerial photographs by the Air Corps, provides a clear view of the Louisiana coast before modern coastal erosion and significant land loss altered the shape of these marshy basins.
