1952 Map of Lake Cataouatche East

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Lake Cataouatche and Lake Salvador dominate this mid-century view of the Louisiana marshlands where St Charles Parish and Jefferson Parish meet. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, from the Intracoastal Waterway Barataria Bayou in the southeast to the dredged channels of the Bayou Couba Oil Field. This period represents a significant era of petroleum exploration and industrial water management, evidenced by the numerous canals like the Millaudon Canal, Delery Canal, and Sharp Canal that cut through the wetlands.
