About this map

Bayou Terrebonne cuts through the marshy landscape of this Terrebonne Parish coastal survey, flowing toward the expansive Terrebonne Bay in the south. The area is defined by a labyrinth of water bodies, including Lake La Graisse and Lake Saint Jean Baptiste, showing the complex hydrologic network of southern Louisiana before mid-century coastal changes. Notable coastal landmarks such as Pt Meshe and the Seabreeze Pass provide critical reference points for the shifting shoreline. The inclusion of General Land Office records adjusted to natural features offers a look at how early property grants and township lines were superimposed over the wetlands, particularly near Lake Jean Pierre and Wine Lake. This edition represents a transitional period in Louisiana cartography, utilizing aerial photography from the U.S. Army Air Corps to document the intricate waterways like Bayou Jose and Pass Barre.
