1946 Map of Redfish Point NE

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Vermilion Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the marshes of southern Louisiana meet the Gulf waters. This 1946 advance sheet, compiled from Air Corps aerial photography, documents the intricate shoreline and swampy terrain of the Redfish Point Quadrangle. Navigational landmarks are sparse but critical in this maritime landscape, anchored by the Redfish Lighthouse at Redfish Point. The map provides a precise record of the shoreline before decades of coastal erosion altered the marshy fringes of North Lake and Indian Point. Further east along the marsh edge, the label Muddy suggests the difficult, saturated character of the land at the bay's edge, highlighting the challenges faced by the U.S. Geological Survey field examiners in 1932.
