1973 Map of Happy Jack

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the lower-left corner of this map, where the settlements of Happy Jack and Port Sulphur are concentrated along the narrow levee lands. This 1970s orthophotomap combines aerial photography with topographic detail, illustrating the precarious balance between the river's industrial corridor and the encroaching coastal wetlands. While the riverbank supports structures like the Acadian Sch and a system of protection at Back Levee, the majority of the landscape is a complex network of marsh and open water, including Grand Point Bay and American Bay. This era of mapping shows the intricate waterways such as John Bayou Canal and Battle Ground Bay, which reveal the area's history as a hub for both navigation and wildlife conservation within the Bohemia State Wildlife Management Area.
