About this map

Cypremort Point anchors this coastal survey, where the marshlands of St. Mary and Iberia Parishes meet the Gulf waters. Compiled from 1930s aerial photography and field examinations by Glenn S. Smith, the map illustrates a landscape of intricate waterways and indefinite shorelines. The passage of Cypremort Bayou provides a navigable thread through the wetlands toward Vermilion Bay and West Cote Blanche Bay. Notable landmarks like Dead Cypress Point and Oyster Lake reveal the traditional nomenclature of the Acadiana coast, while the northern tip of Marsh Island appears at the bottom edge. This era of mapping documents the complex estuarine environment before significant modern alteration, preserving the original courses of Shark Bayou and Horse Bayou as they were recorded at the midpoint of the twentieth century.
