The first Tarzan film, Tarzan of the Apes (released 1918), shot its “jungle” scenes in southern Louisiana and its studio scenes in the Los Angeles area. Production began in 1917: director Scott Sidney and a crew spent several weeks filming on location in the Atchafalaya Basin around Morgan City, Louisiana (notably Lake End Park and nearby cypress swamps) to stand in for Edgar Rice Burroughs’s moss-draped jungle. The company then moved to California—using Hollywood sets and the Griffith Park/Selig-era facilities and stock footage—to complete the picture.
