1994 Map of Cypremort Point

About this map

Cypremort Point stands as a prominent coastal finger extending into the convergence of Vermilion Bay and West Cote Blanche Bay in this 1994 USGS survey. The landscape is defined by the expansive marshlands and tidal networks of the Russell Sage Foundation-Marsh Island State Wildlife Refuge, which occupies the southern portion of the sheet. This area illustrates the coastal Louisiana transition from open water to protected wetlands, marked by features such as Marsh Island and Bird Island Bayou. An active industrial presence is indicated by the Oil and Gas Field located in the bay, supported by a Communication Tower and a Light for maritime navigation. Smaller terrain markers like Shark Island, Blue Point, and Terrapin Reef help define the shoreline as it existed in the mid-1990s.
