2024 Map of Catahoula Bay

About this map

Lake Salvador dominates the eastern expanse of this wetland landscape, where the shifting boundaries of Lafourche and St. Charles parishes meet amidst a dense network of bayous and man-made channels. The southern portion of the map highlights the critical transit corridor of the Intracoastal Waterway and its junction with Harvey Canal Number Two, illustrating the importance of waterborne transport in the region. Smaller named points of land like Grosse Pointe and Shell Beach offer topographical markers in an otherwise fluid environment defined by Catahoula Bay and Bayou des Allemands. Notable family or local identifiers appear in the form of Canal Tisamond Foret and the mysterious Tabatiere Perdue, providing genealogical threads for researchers tracing the history of the lower delta's swamp-and-canal economy.
