About this map

The low-lying wetlands of southern Louisiana are defined here by a intricate network of waterways and the emerging industrial footprint of the late nineteenth century. Surveyed under the direction of H. L. Baldwin Jr., this region shows the critical intersection of natural bayous and iron-rail commerce. The Southern Pacific Railroad cuts a straight line across the landscape, connecting the small settlements of Gibson, Chacahoula, and Schriever.
