2025 Map of Cow Island

About this map

Hackberry Ridge and Grand Chenier Ridge form the elevated backbone of this Cameron Parish coastal landscape, providing stable ground for the settlements of Cow Island and Tiger Island. These ridges are flanked by a dense network of wetlands and tidal waters, including the expansive Price Lake, Alligator Lake, and Tolan Lake. The infrastructure of the area reflects the coastal economy and environment, with the Headquarters Canal and Little Pecan Canal cutting through the marsh for navigation and drainage, while La 82 serves as the primary terrestrial artery along the cheniers. Local history is anchored by the presence of Saint Eugene Cem and Circle Cem, which sit alongside the ridge roads. The southern portion of the sheet opens into the Gulf of America, showing the intricate meeting of land and sea through outlets like Joseph Harbor Bayou.
