1954 Map of Redfish Point NE

About this map

Vermilion Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the low-lying marshlands of Louisiana meet the open water. The landscape is defined by its isolation and the shifting boundary between land and sea, featuring prominent points such as Red Fish Point and Indian Point. Navigational safety for the era's maritime traffic is marked by the Redfish Lighthouse, standing at the edge of the wetlands. Inland, small bodies of water like North Lake and Muddy pocket the terrain, reflecting the saturated nature of the Vermilion Parish coastline. This document captures the coastal geography prior to significant mid-century changes, based on field examinations conducted in the early 1930s.
