About this map

White Lake dominates this coastal landscape on the border of Cameron Parish and Vermilion Parish, where the marshy terrain of the mid-1950s is defined by its waterborne transit routes. Rather than roads, the map details an intricate network of pirogue paths used by hunters and locals, including the Guidry Pirogue Trail, Sweet Bay Pirogue Trail, and Gang Pirogue Trail. These trails provided the primary access through the wetlands surrounding Lake Le Bleu and Turtle Lake to reaches like the Crowley Hunting Club. The presence of the Florence Canal and Prairie Ditch alongside more traditional landmarks like the Crowley Hunting Club Camp highlights the specialized water-and-wildlife economy of south Louisiana. The detailed mapping of Blackfish Bayou and the nearby Intracoastal Waterway illustrates a region where deep-water navigation and shallow-water hunting grounds exist side-by-side.
