2012 Map of Cheniere au Tigre
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
The coastal marshlands of Vermilion Parish meet the Gulf of Mexico in this 2012 survey, where the isolated settlement of Cheniere au Tigre stands along the shore. This area is defined by a complex network of man-made waterways used for navigation and industry, including the Belle Isle Canal, the McIlhenny Canal, and the Cutoff Canal. These channels cut through a fragile landscape of wetlands and ridges such as Bill Ridge, illustrating the intensive modification of the Louisiana coastline for transport and resource extraction. Evidence of the region's energy economy is visible at the Nicks Lake Gas Field, located north of the main settlement. The geography here is a precarious balance between the natural flow of the Cheniere Au Tigre Bayou and the expansive reach of the Gulf at Tigre Point.
