1957 Map of Yscloskey

About this map

Old Fort Beauregard stands as a silent sentinel on the southern shore of Lake Borgne, marking a landscape defined by an intricate network of coastal wetlands and tidal channels. This mid-century survey captures the traditional fishing and trapping outposts of Shell Beach, Alluvial City, and Yscloskey before significant shoreline erosion and coastal changes altered the geography of eastern St. Bernard Parish. The dominant artery of the region, Bayou la Loutre, is flanked by a prominent Spoil Bank, indicating the dredging efforts required to maintain navigation through the marshes. Further south, the map details a complex labyrinth of lagoons, including Antonios Lagoon and Tanasia Lagoon, which eventually give way to larger water bodies like Lake Amedee. This document serves as a critical spatial record for understanding the original layout of these bayou communities and the extensive aquatic environment that sustained them.
