About this map

The Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge dominates this coastal landscape, protecting a complex network of wetlands where the brackish waters of Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne meet. At the center of the sheet, the historic Chef Menteur Pass serves as a critical natural waterway, flanked by the archaeological remains of Fort Macomb (Ruins). This site illustrates the strategic military importance of these narrow water passages during the 19th century.
