Lake Theriot and the surrounding marshlands of Terrebonne Parish dominate this 1935 survey, which was compiled from early aerial photography. The settlement at Theriot and the Theriot P O sit along the winding Bayou Du Large, where human habitation follows the natural levees and ridges. A complex network of artificial waterways, including the Minors Canal, Thibodaux Canal, and Marmande Canal, illustrates the extensive efforts to navigate and drain this low-lying landscape during the early 20th century.
