About this map

Intracoastal Waterway dominates the lower half of this coastal landscape in Vermilion Parish, showing a transition between marshlands and organized agricultural irrigation. The map reveals an intricate network of man-made waterways including Spencer Canal and Robins Canal, which were critical for managing water in this low-lying region. Rural life in the mid-1930s (when field examinations were conducted) is anchored by the Marceaux Sch and local travel routes like State Highway No 516. Of particular interest to land historians is the Retracement of Previous Survey Line, illustrating the ongoing effort by the State of Louisiana Board of State Engineers to reconcile historical General Land Office records with the physical terrain. Grounded features like Pine Island and the Warren Trail provide specific coordinates for those tracing early 20th-century family movements and infrastructure.
