1935 Map of Peveto Beach

About this map

The Gulf of Mexico shoreline of Cameron Parish is captured here in the mid-1930s, showing a transition from the salt marshes to the coastal ridge. Small beach settlements including Peveto Beach, Ocean View Beach, and Beach Camp cling to the narrow dry ground along the coast, punctuated by several bench marks such as BM Ocean and BM Sue. This preliminary survey highlights the low-lying hydrology of the region, where Old North Bayou and Old East Bayou wind through the marshlands north of Eli Ridge. The inclusion of Starks Canal and isolated landmarks like Stark and a lone House indicates the sparse nature of human habitation in this environment before modern development. The mapping represents a moment when aerial photography from the U.S. Army Air Corps was first being integrated with traditional ground control by the Coast and Geodetic Survey to chart the complex Louisiana coastline.
