1892 Map of Gibson

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

The low-lying wetlands of southern Louisiana define this 1891 survey, where the terrestrial landscape is dictated by the sinuous paths of coastal waterways. Settlements like Gibson and Chacahoula are established at critical points where the Southern Pacific Railroad crosses the complex drainage network of Bayou Chacahoula and Bayou Tiger. To the east, the map illustrates the transition from the wilder marshes toward the more structured ribbon settlements and land divisions along Bayou Terrebonne and Bayou Black.
