1893 Map of Rigolets

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

Ft. Pike stands as a sentinel at the western entrance of The Rigolets, anchoring a complex landscape of marsh and water where the Pearl River system meets the gulf. This late 19th-century coastal survey, based on reconnaissance by H.L. Baldwin Jr., details a labyrinth of tidal passes such as St Catharine Pass and North Pass that navigate between Lake St Catharine and the expansive Lake Borgne. The presence of a Hospital near the fort and the small settlement of Claiborne suggest the sparse but strategic human footprint in this wetland environment.
