1935 Map of Timbalier Island
USGS Topo · Published 1935About this map
Timbalier Island stretches across the southern reach of this 1935 field examination, serving as a critical barrier between the Gulf of Mexico and the interior waters of Timbalier Bay. This survey, compiled from U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey aerial photography, reveals the intricate network of marshy inlets and landforms that defined the Louisiana coast before mid-century coastal erosion accelerated. The map identifies several small triangulation or survey marks such as James, King 2, and Tim 2, which provided essential control points for the State of Louisiana Board of State Engineers.
