About this map

Cypremort Point sits at the intersection of the Gulf of Mexico and the labyrinthine wetlands of southern Louisiana. This map documents a coastal landscape defined by shifting boundaries and aquatic transit, dominated by the Acadiana Navigation Channel cutting through the open water. To the south, the northern reaches of Marsh Island appear, separated from the mainland by a series of tidal passages including Bayou Lucien and Bayou Platte.

The presence of Terrapin Reef and coastal features like Blue Point and Shark Island illustrates the precarious nature of this shoreline environment. While human development is sparse, centered primarily around Bayview Dr, the mapping of parish lines—spanning Vermilion, Iberia, and St. Mary—reflects the complex jurisdictional divisions within these coastal marshes. The coastal hydrology is further detailed by the winding path of Bayou Cypremort.
