1955 Map of Lake Athanasio

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The labyrinthine marshlands and tidal basins of St. Bernard Parish are defined by the convergence of Lake Athanasio, Lake Machias, and Lake Fortuna in this mid-century coastal survey. This maritime landscape is a complex network of named waterways and islands, where Bayou Frenepiquant and Seven Dollar Bayou weave through the fragmented wetlands. Navigation for the local fishing and oyster fleets of the era was aided by markers like Lake Eloi Light 1 and Mozambique Point Light.
