About this map

Cypremort Point stands as a focal point along the intricate coastline of Iberia Parish, where the land fragmentizes into the vast waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This coastal landscape is defined by its transition from the mainland to the sprawling wetlands of Marsh Island, separated by the tidal flows of Bayou Lucien and Bayou Platte. The map illustrates the critical maritime infrastructure of the region, specifically the Acadiana Navigation Channel which cuts through the open water to support local seafaring and industry.

Water dominates the geography, with Vermilion Bay to the west and West Cote Blanche Bay to the east divided by the parish line. Notable maritime hazards and landmarks such as Terrapin Reef and Shark Island near Blue Point provide essential navigational reference points. The map captures the delicate balance between the established settlement at the point and the surrounding wild marshlands and reefs that characterize the Louisiana Gulf Coast.
