1968 Map of Yscloskey

About this map

Old Fort Beauregard Ruins stands as a sentinel on the shores of Lake Borgne, marking the historical defensive landscape of this coastal stretch. The map documents the engineering-heavy environment of the late 1960s, dominated by the massive Mississippi River - Gulf Outlet Canal and its adjacent Spoil Area. These modern waterways intersect older natural drainage patterns like Bayou la Loutre and Bayou Yscloskey. The local economy of the era is evident through the presence of a Refinery and Gaging Station near the small communities of Alluvial City and Yscloskey. To the south, a complex network of marshes and lagoons including Tanasia Lagoon and Lake Amedee illustrates the intricate, low-lying coastal geography before significant coastal erosion further altered the St. Bernard Parish shoreline.
