2025 Map of Grand Bayou

About this map

Cameron and its surrounding wetlands occupy a unique position where the Gulf Of America meets the intricate hydrology of the Louisiana coast. The landscape is defined by its transition from open water to marsh, bifurcated by the winding South Prong of Grand Bayou and structured by the Creole Canal. Historically significant ridges such as Mesquite Ridge and Front Ridge provide the only stable ground for local infrastructure and a dense network of family and community landmarks. Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its detailed location of several cemeteries, including Peshoff Cem, Ebenezer Cem, and the Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church and Cem. The map illustrates a community shaped by the water, where roads like Broussard Beach Rd and Rutherford Beach Rd terminate at the sea, and settlement patterns follow the natural elevation of the coastal cheniers.
