2015 Map of Bay Dosgris

About this map

Alombro Cem stands as a solitary land-based landmark amidst the expansive marshlands and tidal waters of the Mississippi Delta. The landscape is defined by a complex network of estuarine features where Bay Dosgris and Saint Joseph Bay meet the saltwater influence of the Gulf of Mexico. The boundary between Jefferson Parish and Lafourche Parish meanders through these wetlands, crossing significant waterways like Grand Bayou and the engineered Barataria Bay Waterway. This 2015 survey illustrates the delicate balance of coastal Louisiana, where named features like Hackberry Bay and Manila Bayou dominate a region primarily shaped by hydrology rather than human settlement. The map provides essential data for understanding the modern shoreline and the intricate drainage patterns of the lower bayou country.
