2020 Map of Deep Lake

About this map

Grand Chenier Ridge stands as a prominent elevation feature in this coastal wetland environment, carrying the path of La 82 through the marsh. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Southwest Bayou, Sardine Bayou, and the artificial North Island Canal, which feeds into the expanse of Deep Lake. Isolated high points like North Island, Money Island, and Tiger Island emerge from the surrounding wetlands, indicating the historical geography of this section of Cameron Parish. To the south and east, the transition from marsh to open water is marked by Grassy Lake and Blue Lake. The presence of Constance Ditch and Negro Ditch highlights the history of water management and drainage efforts in this low-lying territory during the late twentieth century.
