1942 Map of Lake Cataouatche East

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Lake Cataouatche and the northern reaches of Lake Salvador dominate this coastal landscape, illustrating the intricate hydrology of the Jefferson and St. Charles Parish line in the early 1940s. The map captures a transition period where natural bayous like Bayou Segnette and Bayou Couba exist alongside an emerging network of man-made channels, including the Waggaman Canal and Millaudon Canal. These waterways were vital for drainage and navigation in a region where the land was barely above sea level.
