About this map

Bayou La Loutre cuts through the marshy landscape of St. Bernard Parish, illustrating the complex hydrology of coastal Louisiana before mid-century environmental changes. This 1935 survey, based on aerial photography from the U. S. Army Air Corps, captures a world of labyrinthine waterways and named coastal features. Landmarks such as Comfort Island and Chicot Island sit amidst the expansive Chandeleur Sound, while interior waters like Skiff Lake and Christmas Camp Lake dominate the northern terrain. The map is particularly valuable for its detail on the numerous named points and passes, such as Deadman Pt and Chicot Pass, which were essential for navigation in the era of early aviation and marine commerce. The inclusion of General Land Office records provides a layer of property history over the shifting wetlands, showing the intersection of legal boundaries with the natural flow of Otter Bayou and Treasure Bay.
