USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
Rathborne Swamp dominates this early 1960s landscape, illustrating the complex hydrology of the coastal Louisiana interior before extensive modern development. The map reveals a transition from the dense labyrinth of waterways like Grand Bayou and Bayou Baton Pilon to the structured agricultural lands of Webster Plantation and Melodia Plantation along the southern edge. These plantations are oriented toward the vital transport corridor of Bayou Lafourche, which served as the primary artery for settlement and commerce in the region.
