2012 Map of Cocodrie Lake

About this map

Cocodrie Lake dominates this central Louisiana landscape, where the labyrinthine waterways of Bayou Cocodrie, Caney Bayou, and Horse Br meet. The map reveals a transition between the dense aquatic environment and the structured settlements to the east. Small communities like Clearwater and Meridian are situated along the primary north-south corridor, while boat landings such as Clubhouse Landing, Bennett Bay Landing, and Hester Landing provide access to the complex shoreline. Genealogy and local history are preserved in the locations of Oak Grove Cemetery, Duplissey Cemetery, and McCormack Cemetery. Land features like Peterson Island and Island Gap Island emerge from the lake, while the presence of the Meridian Lookout Tower points toward the importance of forest management in this timber-rich region of Evangeline Parish.
