1951 Map of Pecan Island
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Chenier ridges dominate this coastal landscape, providing the only high ground for human habitation above the marshes of Vermilion Parish. The settlement of Pecan Island stretches along a series of these narrow elevations, including Back Ridge and Front Ridge, where the local Cem serves as a genealogical marker for the community. In this early 1950s survey, the transition from a remote agricultural and trapping outpost to an industrial zone is evident as an Oil Field and numerous Oil Wells appear near White Lake.
