About this map

Creole and Oak Grove sit at the southern edge of this 2015 survey, where the Louisiana coastline meets the Gulf Of Mexico. The landscape is defined by its low-lying ridges and intricate waterways, notably Little Chenier Ridge and Pumpkin Ridge which rise above the surrounding marsh. The Mermentau River flows into Lower Mud Lake in the southeast, while the Mermentau River Navigational Channel facilitates modern transit through this complex hydrographic network.

Linear human imprints like the Anr Pipeline and a series of parish roads, including Little Chenier RD and Parish Road 381, illustrate the ongoing balance of industrial infrastructure and rural settlement. Smaller bayous such as Kings Bayou and Hog Bayou weave through the southern portion of the map, highlighting the coastal character of the Eugene Island area and the deep connection between the land and the Gulf.
