About this map

The coastal marshlands of Vermilion Parish are defined here by a complex network of man-made canals and natural bayous. Forked Island serves as a small focal point in this landscape, where the local Sch and several ferry crossings provided essential infrastructure for a community reliant on water transport. The map documents the engineering of the Intracoastal Waterway, including the Schooner Bayou Locks and a nearby Lock House, alongside the Diversion Dam. This transition from natural drainage to managed navigation is evident in the straight lines of the Liberty Canal and Isle Marrone Canal cutting through traditional terrain. Named landmarks like Oak Point, Point Grosbec, and Little Prairie Ridge indicate slightly higher ground used for navigation and settlement in an otherwise aquatic environment of islands and prongs, such as the North Prong Schooner Bayou.
