1956 Map of Rigolets

About this map

Pearl River distributaries and the vast coastal wetlands of Fritchie Marsh dominate this mid-century survey of the Louisiana-Mississippi borderlands. The intricate hydrologic network shows the West River, Middle River, and East River carving through Honey Island, a landscape defined by shifting bayous and seasonal lagoons. Human presence is concentrated along the higher ground of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad corridor, where small settlements like Pearlington and English Lookout serve as outposts between the freshwater marshes and the saline waters of Lake Borgne.
