1966 Map of Lake Salve

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The low-lying wetlands of St. Mary Parish dominate this mid-century landscape, where the Lower Atchafalaya River empties into East Bay and Atchafalaya Bay. The map reveals a complex hydraulic environment defined by named bayous like Big Wax Bayou, Big Bull Bayou, and Big Doctors Bayou. Settlement is sparse and focused on higher ground or specific sites like Beadles and the evocatively named Wetfoot Hammocks and Live Oak Hammock.
