1957 Map of Yscloskey

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Shell Beach and the neighboring settlements of Yscloskey and Alluvial City serve as the primary human outposts in this intricate landscape of marsh, lagoons, and bayous on the southern shore of Lake Borgne. The presence of Old Fort Beauregard near the coast hints at the strategic military importance of these waterways during earlier centuries. The map details a complex hydrologic network where Bayou Terre Aux Boeufs snakes through the wetlands toward Lake Amedee and Lake Jean Louis Robin, reflecting a delicate environment shaped by tidal influence and siltation.
