2015 Map of Greens Bayou

About this map

Lone Pine sits at the northeastern edge of this coastal marsh landscape in Cameron Parish, marking a transition point in the complex wetlands of southwestern Louisiana. The terrain is defined by a intricate system of natural waterways and early industrial drainage efforts, including the Black Bayou and Greens Bayou systems. The map illustrates how human intervention has reshaped the marsh through an extensive network of waterways such as the Starks Central Canal, Burton-Sutton Canal, and Willow Bayou Canal. These straight-line channels contrast sharply with the wandering paths of the bayous and the irregular shapes of Greens Lake and Blue Islands. This 2015 data provides a clear record of the low-lying coastal topography, capturing family-named landmarks like Marceaux Island and the subtle elevation of Pines Ridge amidst the surrounding bayous.
