About this map

Pelican Pass serves as the central dividing line between Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes in this mid-1930s coastal survey. The landscape is a complex network of marshland and open water, dominated by Lake Raccourci and Timbalier Bay. Unlike more inland regions, human presence is represented by isolated camps and small settlements like Philo, Camp, and Tete, which reflect the seasonal and water-dependent nature of life along the Gulf Coast before modern coastal erosion and engineering significantly altered these landforms.
