1955 Map of Lake Eugenie

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Lake Eugenie and its labyrinthine marshlands define this coastal landscape in St. Bernard Parish, captured during a mid-1950s survey. The area is a complex network of brackish waterways and shallow basins, where Bobs Lakes and Bay Boudreau meet a jagged shoreline. The map documents the intricate hydrography of the Mississippi River Delta before decades of significant coastal erosion, showing the relationship between large open waters like False Mouth Bay and the smaller distributary channels such as Biloxi Bayou and Redfish Bayou. Local geographical identifiers like Wild Goose Island and Pirate Point offer specific landmarks for navigating this amphibious terrain. In the southern reach, Bayou La Loutre serves as a primary artery, flanked by features like Stump Lagoon and the curiously named Lake of the Mound, suggesting a landscape shaped by both natural siltation and early human presence.
