1934 Map of Johnsons Bayou
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Smith Ridge and Junius Ridge rise above the marshy wetlands of coastal Cameron Parish, revealing the critical role of topographic elevation in this low-lying landscape. Surveyed in 1934, the map documents a tight cluster of community life centered around the Johnsons Bayou PO BM and the local Johnsons Bayou Sch. The distribution of family names and infrastructure, such as the Pevoto Cemetery, highlights how settlement followed these natural cheniers or ridges, which provided stable ground amidst the surrounding bayous.
