2020 Map of Black Bay North

About this map

Bayou Terre Aux Boeufs meanders across the marshy divide between Saint Bernard Parish and Plaquemines Parish, tracing a landscape dominated by water and low-lying islands. This coastal region is defined by a network of interconnected lakes and bayous, including Lake Jean Louis Robin and Lake Machias to the north, which give way to the open reaches of Black Bay in the south. The intricate hydrology is punctuated by small landforms like Snake Island, Gallega Island, and Grand Coquille Point, which have historically served as critical markers for local navigation and fishing.
