1975 Map of Peveto Beach

About this map

Peveto Beach defines the southern edge of this coastal landscape, situated along the shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico. This 1975 orthophotoquad provides a clear visual record of the marshlands and complex hydrologic patterns characteristic of Cameron Parish before later coastal changes. The winding course of Old North Bayou and Old East Bayou cut through the terrain, revealing the natural drainage patterns and brackish ecosystems of the Louisiana gulf coast. The photographic imagery captures the distinct vegetation and soil signatures of the region, offering a precise look at the land's surface as it existed in the mid-1970s. This specific survey is an essential document for understanding the coastal geomorphology and environmental history of this stretch of beach and bayou.
