About this map

White Lake dominates the upper half of this coastal Louisiana survey, meeting the marshy expanse of Pecan Island along a complex, winding shoreline. In the early 1930s, the isolated settlement at Pecan Island PO was defined by a series of narrow, elevated landforms that provided habitable ground amidst the wetlands. These features, including Sweet Bay Ridge, Cane Ridge, Lambert Ridge, and Back Ridge, reflect the geological fingerprint of ancient shorelines that dictated the pattern of local human habitation and agriculture.
