1955 Map of Morgan Harbor

About this map

Bayou La Loutre snakes through the marshy expanse of St. Bernard Parish in this mid-century hydrographic survey, illustrating a landscape defined by water and sediment. Situated where the marsh meets the open waters of Chandeleur Sound and Breton Sound, the area is a complex network of channels like Scow Pass and Jules Cutoff. Notable landmarks such as Comfort Island and Dry Bread Island rise just above the mean sea level, surrounded by shallow basins including Christmas Camp Lake and Treasure Bay. This survey reflects the coastal environment before significant late-20th-century erosion, documenting the exact positions of named points like Point Eliza and Codfish Point. The absence of roads or trails emphasizes the marine-dependent nature of life and navigation in Morgan Harbor during the 1950s.
