Taylor, 1859. On March 4, 1859, Mr. Gorlinski sent his report on the survey, plan, and cost estimates for draining the swamp lands in the valley. He started in Thibodaux and went to the Gulf of Mexico, looking for obstructions to water flow. He eventually recommended at least one canal and strongly recommended the state buy its own dredge boat to do the work. He thanked the residents of the area for helping with the survey.
