1935 Map of Oyster Bayou

About this map

Oyster Bayou L H stands at the edge of the Gulf of Mexico, marking a treacherous coastal landscape where the Louisiana marsh meets the sea. This mid-1930s survey documents the intricate network of water bodies including Bay Junop, Mud Hole Bay, and Fourleague Bay before decades of coastal erosion significantly altered the shoreline. The economy of the era is evidenced by multiple Shrimp Platforms situated among the inlets and bayous, reflecting the region's reliance on the bounty of the gulf.
