2012 Map of Allanton

About this map

East Bay dominates this coastal landscape, where the confluence of several bayous and creeks defines the local geography. The settlement of Allanton sits on the western shore, anchored by Allan Point and Murray Point, while the community of Farmdale lies just south of Baker Bayou. This 2012 survey illustrates a mix of traditional maritime environments and specialized aviation facilities, most notably the Sandy Creek Airpark located inland from Smith Bayou. Extensive wetlands like Bear Swamp and California Swamp border the tidal waters, creating a complex network of marshes and inlets such as Lathrop Bayou and Horseshoe Bayou. Researchers can trace the layout of coastal developments and older landmarks, including the Farmdale Cem and various points along the shoreline like Bull Point and Coffee Pot Point, which have historically served as navigational markers for the region's water-based transport and fishing.
