About this map

Cheniere du Fond stands as a prominent topographical feature along the southern reaches of Grand Lake, illustrating the unique coastal ridge landscape of Cameron Parish. This 2024 map documents a complex system of interconnected waterways and marshland, where the southern boundary of Grand Lake transitions into smaller bodies such as Collicon Lake and Lake Benoit. The naming conventions reflect a blend of English and French influence, seen in features like Grand Lac L'Huit and Petit Lac L'Huit.

The interior is defined by several named high points, including Eagle Island, High Island, and Long Island, which provide relief within the expansive wetland network. Man-made interventions in the natural hydrology are evident through the Blackfish Canal and Round Lake Canal, which cut through the territory near Blackfish Lake, facilitating navigation or drainage through the bayous and lakes of this coastal environment.
