1968 Map of Cypremort Point

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Cypremort Point serves as the primary coastal outpost on this late 1960s survey of the Louisiana Gulf Coast. The landscape is defined by the expansive waters of Vermilion Bay and West Cote Blanche Bay, separated by a complex network of reefs and islands. To the south, the northern edge of the Russell Sage Foundation Marsh Island State Wildlife Refuge is depicted, where Lucien Bayou and Bird Island Bayou cut through the marshy terrain. The presence of an Oil and Gas Field and a prominent Radio Tower reflect the mid-century industrial expansion into these coastal waters. Coastal navigators and researchers can identify local landmarks such as Shark Island, Blue Point, and the Terrapin Reef, which dictate the hydrography of this ecologically significant transition zone.
