1934 Map of Lake Misere

About this map

Lake Misere and the surrounding marshlands of Cameron Parish define this landscape as it was surveyed in the early 1930s. The small settlement of Misere sits along the southern shore, while the Intracoastal Waterway cuts a straight path through the wetlands to the north. This survey illustrates the intricate water management of the era, including the City Bell Drainage Canal and the natural constriction at The Narrows connecting the main lake to Little Lake Misere. Rising just slightly above the wetlands are distinct topographical features like Mango Ridge, Jims Ridge, and Lost Island, which provided critical high ground for early inhabitants and wildlife. Named groves such as Blue Grove and Black Grove alongside the Cady landmark indicate established points of reference in an otherwise fluid environment of water and sawgrass.
