1894 Map of Timbalier

USGS Topo · Published 1926

About this map

Timbalier Island and its smaller counterpart, East Timbalier Island, form a narrow barrier between the open Gulf of Mexico and the labyrinthine wetlands of southern Terrebonne Parish. Surveyed in the late 19th century, this aquatic landscape is defined by its fluid geography, where Bayou Terrebonne and Bayou Blue discharge into the expansive Timbalier Bay. The presence of Jacko Camp near Jacko Camp Bay suggests the early importance of these waters for local fishing and maritime activity.
