The Mississippi River defines the eastern edge of this coastal landscape, where the river's levees meet an intricate system of canals and bayous in southern Jefferson Parish and Plaquemines Parish. During the early 1930s, the region was characterized by its riverfront settlements like Bertrandville and Oakville, while the interior marshes were increasingly pierced by industrial projects like the Harvey Intracoastal Waterway Canal. Aviation history is present at the Wedell-Williams Landing Field, positioned near the Industry Canal and the Louisiana Southern RR. The map captures the complex drainage and transportation network of the era, from the Wagoner Bridge spanning Bayou Barataria to the numerous irrigation and drainage channels such as the Concord Canal and Augusta Canal. This detailed survey reflects the transition of the Louisiana wetlands as traditional water routes like Bayou des Familles were augmented by modern engineering, including a prominent Pumping Station.
