About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this mid-1930s landscape, flanked by a complex network of levees and man-made waterways like the Doullut Canal and Johnson Canal. These channels were essential for navigating the marshy environment of Plaquemines Parish, connecting the river to expansive coastal waters such as Quarantine Bay and Adams Bay. The settlement at Empire and the landmark of Tropical Bend show a narrow ribbon of development pressed against the river's eastern bank, served by the Louisiana Southern Railroad and State Highway No 31.
