1892 Map of St. Bernard

About this map

Battery Bienvenue stands as a sentinel at the confluence of Bayou Bienvenue and Bayou Maxent, reflecting the coastal defense and maritime history of the Louisiana marshlands. This survey, conducted in 1890, captures the intricate geography of the lower Mississippi delta before modern levees and land loss transformed the region. The landscape is defined by the sweeping curves of the Mississippi River, including the famous English Turn, where plantations and small settlements like Saxonholm and St Clair line the narrow fertile banks.
