1951 Map of Pecan Island

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The coastal ridges of Vermilion Parish dominate this 1951 field survey, where the linear settlement of Pecan Island follows a narrow strip of high ground between the marsh and White Lake. The landscape is a complex network of natural waterways and man-made infrastructure, featuring numerous family-named landforms such as Cypress Point Ridge, Sweet Bay Ridge, and Lambert Ridge. These ridges provided vital habitable land in a region otherwise defined by expansive wetlands and water bodies like Schooner Bayou.
