About this map

Marsh Island dominates this coastal survey, where the terrestrial environment is almost entirely defined by the Russell Sage Foundation-Marsh Island State Wildlife Refuge. This expansive wetland landscape is etched by an intricate network of tidal waterways, including Bayou Chene, Bayou Lucien, and Big Charles Bayou. These channels drain into the northern Vermilion Bay or southward toward the Gulf of Mexico. The presence of isolated Oil Wells and a Drill Hole indicates the mid-century industrial activity occurring amidst the preserve. Along the southern shoreline, the geography transitions into the open Gulf, marked by prominent features like Grosse Isle Point and a series of submerged navigational hazards including Diamond Reef and Shell Reef. Numerous interior bodies of water, such as Lake Jefferson and Lucien Lake, highlight the porous, shifting nature of the Louisiana deltaic plain.
