1894 Map of Lake Felicity

About this map

Bayou Lafourche defines the eastern boundary of this coastal landscape, flowing toward the Gulf through a complex network of marshlands and open water. Surveyed in 1891, the map captures the transition between Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, where the land fragmentizes into major water bodies like Lake Felicity and Catfish Lake. The intricate hydrology of the region is evident in the winding courses of Bayou Du Chien and St. Jean Charles Bayou, which serve as primary corridors through the low-lying terrain. To the south, the land yields entirely to Timbalier Bay, illustrating the expansive coastal marsh and ridge system before the era of significant modern coastal erosion. Small, unnamed settlements and landings along the bayous suggest a local economy deeply tied to the tides and the river's distributaries.
