The deltaic landscape of the Lower Atchafalaya River and Berwick Bay dominates this mid-1930s survey, illustrating a critical junction of South Louisiana water and rail traffic. The city of Morgan City and the neighboring town of Berwick serve as the hub for the Southern Pacific RR and the storied Old Spanish Trail. Surrounding these centers are numerous plantations and rural settlements like Fairview Plantation and Bayou Black Settlement, often established along the high ground of ridges and bayous.
