About this map

Chenier Au Tigre stands as the primary outpost of human activity on this low-lying coastal stretch of Vermilion Parish. This 1954 advance sheet, based on field work from 1932 and aerial photography by the Air Corps, illustrates the precarious intersection of land and sea along the Gulf of Mexico. The presence of St Francis Ch indicates a established community presence on this coastal ridge, surrounded by vast marshes and an expansive Mud Flat. The landscape is defined by its hydraulic engineering, with the Cutoff Canal and other unnamed waterways cutting through the wetlands. Boundary lines such as East Line R 2 E and West Line R 3 E divide the marsh into administrative blocks, reflecting the systematic efforts of the Board of State Engineers to manage this fluid environment before mid-century changes altered the coastline.
