About this map

Freshwater Bayou winds through the expansive marshlands of coastal Vermilion Parish, meeting the Gulf of Mexico at a point marked by the Hebert landmark. This 1932 field examination captures the precarious landscape of the Louisiana coast before modern channelization altered much of the region's hydrology. The map details a transition from the open waters of the Gulf to a series of subtle elevations, including Sand Ridge and Shelf Bank, which provided the only stable ground for travel and seasonal settlement.
