1954 Map of Lake Eugenie

About this map

Indian Mound stands as a prominent landmark in this 1954 survey of St. Bernard Parish, highlighting the early human presence in the Louisiana marshlands. This intricate network of coastal waterways and wetlands, including Lake Eugenie and Lake of the Mound, reflects the complex geography of the Mississippi River delta before significant modern alterations. The map identifies specific landing points and navigation markers such as Pirate Pt, Eugene, and Lawson, which served as vital reference points for local trappers, fishermen, and boaters navigating the labyrinthine passages of Bayou Marron and Biloxi Bayou. The distribution of these named points and bayous provides an essential record of mid-century coastal Louisiana, where the land and water were in constant flux, and seasonal camps or small settlements like False were integrated into the tidal landscape.
