2020 Map of Cheniere au Tigre

About this map

Cheniere au Tigre sits as a narrow coastal upland along the edge of the Gulf of Mexico, defined by a series of ridges and an intricate network of man-made waterways. The landscape reveals a pattern of marsh management and navigation through features like the Belle Isle Canal, McIlhenny Canal, and Last Point Canal. These waterways cut through the low-lying terrain of Vermilion Parish, connecting inland marshes to the open sea. Near the shoreline, Bill Ridge provides a slight elevation above the surrounding wetlands, while Tigre Point marks a distinct protrusion into the gulf. The proximity of Cheniere Au Tigre Bayou and the West Cheniere Au Tigre Canal to the primary settlement area suggests a history shaped by water-based transit and coastal ecology, reflecting the unique geography of this remote stretch of the Louisiana coast.
