About this map

The Amite River and Tickfaw River dominate this low-lying landscape during the early 1930s, winding through dense wetlands and cypress brakes toward Lake Maurepas. At this time, the region relied heavily on its waterways for transport and commerce, evidenced by Romes Ferry crossing the Tickfaw and the navigation aids like the Amite River L.H. beacon at the river's mouth. Small, rural settlements such as Springville, Killian, and Maurepas serve as local hubs, while the Garyville Northern railroad cuts through the western swamps, reflecting the era's timber and rail economy.
