2015 Map of Black Bay South

About this map

Belle Isle and Lonesome Island anchor this coastal Louisiana landscape where the waters of the Gulf Of Mexico meet a complex network of bays and passes. In this portion of Plaquemines Parish, the land-to-water ratio illustrates a disappearing marshland, defined by prominent points like Curfew Point and Telegraph Point. The map details the intricate hydrography of the region, ranging from the open waters of Black Bay and California Bay to smaller, isolated features such as Bayou Lost and Whiskey Bay. Navigational markers like Bel Pass and Bel La Pass indicate the natural channels through which water moves through Bay Crabe and Bay Gardene. The absence of roads or terrestrial infrastructure underscores the environment’s character, where Stone Island stands as one of the few named landforms in an otherwise fluid coastal landscape.
