2015 Map of Cocodrie

About this map

Cocodrie serves as a small coastal hub at the edge of the Gulf of Mexico, where the marshlands of Terrebonne Parish meet the open water. This 2015 survey illustrates a landscape dominated by the movement of water and tides, characterized by a complex network of bayous and salt marshes. The Houma Navigation Canal cuts through the northern section, facilitating maritime traffic through the Bayou Petit Caillou corridor. The map details a shifting shoreline where large bodies of water like Terrebonne Bay and Bay Sale are separated by narrow fingers of land and tidal channels such as Sainte Elaine Pass and Tambour Cutoff. For those studying coastal change or local navigation, the placement of landmarks like Cooke Point and the numerous small inlets including Mangrove Bay and Bay Touch-me-not provide essential reference points for the Louisiana coastline.
