1975 Map of Johnsons Bayou

About this map

The coastal marshes of Cameron Parish appear in high-contrast detail in this 1975 orthophotoquad, which captures the unique chenier landscape along the Gulf of Mexico. The small settlement of Johnsons Bayou is visible as a scattered collection of structures and roads set against a complex network of wetlands and tidal channels. The image highlights the intricate relationship between the land and water, showing how local infrastructure follows the higher ridges of the cheniers to avoid the lower marshland. To the south, the winding course of Old East Bayou cuts through the terrain before meeting the coast. This rectified aerial imagery provides a clear look at the agricultural patterns and drainage canals that defined the region in the mid-1970s, making it a valuable tool for understanding the historical footprint of this coastal community before decades of shoreline change.
