Lake Pontchartrain dominates this aquatic landscape, where the open waters of the basin are partitioned by underwater administrative lines. This map focuses on the point where three Louisiana jurisdictions meet in the center of the lake, tracing the maritime boundaries of St. John the Baptist Parish, St. Charles Parish, and Jefferson Parish. This perspective is distinct for its absence of dry land, illustrating the vastness of the estuary and how parish lines extend into the gulf coast's water bodies. It serves as a spatial reference for the southeastern Louisiana lakefront, documenting the exact intersection of these historical civil divisions as they stood in 2015.
