About this map

The settlement of Hackberry anchors this coastal Louisiana landscape, situated amidst a complex network of wetlands and tidal waters in Cameron Parish. The terrain is defined by low-lying elevations such as Lost Ridge, Back Ridge, and Hog Island, which rise above the surrounding marshes. Industrial and coastal infrastructure is evident through the extensive waterway system, including the Burton Sutton Canal and West Cove Canal, which facilitate movement between Black Lake and West Cove.

Surface transportation is concentrated along La 27, which serves as a primary corridor through the area, supplemented by local routes like Johnny Benoit Rd and Maggie Hebert Rd. The mapping of island features like Vincent Island and Chinaberry Island alongside Wild Cow Lake illustrates the delicate balance of the region's hydrography. For those tracking local history or family ties, the specific road names and named ridges provide a clear record of the area's geography as it appeared in the early 21st century.
