1934 Map of Johnsons Bayou

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The coastal marshlands of Cameron Parish are defined by an intricate network of waterways and elevated cheniers in this 1934 survey. Smith Ridge and Junius Ridge provide narrow corridors of higher ground amidst the expansive wetlands, supporting the community infrastructure of the era. The settlement is centered around the Johnsons Bayou PO BM and the Johnsons Bayou Sch, showing a remote coastal society tied to the landscape. To the north, the geography is dominated by complex drainage systems including Bayou Junius, Deep Bayou, and Double Island Gully, which snake through the marsh toward Hamilton Lake. The map also documents industrial and cultural markers, from the Magnolia Vacuum Canal to the isolated Pevoto Cemetery, capturing the balance between maritime industry and local family history along the Louisiana coast.
