1952 Map of Lake Cataouatche West

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Lake Cataouatche and the northern reaches of Lake Salvador dominate this 1952 topographic study of the Louisiana wetlands. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the Louisiana Cypress Lumber Canal and the West Canal, which illustrate the industrial efforts to manage and extract resources from this saturated environment. The New Orleans Netherlands Drainage District occupies a significant portion of the upper eastern quadrant, marking an era of ambitious land reclamation and water control in St. Charles Parish.
