About this map

Grand Chenier Ridge stands as a prominent elevation feature amidst the vast coastal marshlands of Cameron Parish, where land and water intersect at the edge of the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is defined by a complex network of natural waterways and human-engineered channels, including Southwest Bayou, Duhon Bayou, and the North Island Canal. These water features highlight the importance of drainage and navigation in this low-lying region.

Several named land masses emerge from the wetlands, most notably North Island, Money Island, and Big Josephine Island. The southern portion of the map is dominated by open water bodies like Deep Lake, Grassy Lake, and Blue Lake, which are interconnected by features such as Constance Ditch and Constance Bayou. These patterns of land and water are indicative of the traditional fishing and trapping environments typical of this section of the Louisiana coast.
