About this map

Lone Pine and the surrounding marshlands of Cameron Parish define this coastal landscape, where a complex network of natural waterways and industrial canals meet. The area is dominated by the tidal reach of Black Bayou and its numerous tributaries, including Starks Bayou and the East Fork of Right Prong Black Bayou. This environment is shaped by a historical reliance on water-based transport and drainage, evident in the prominent Starks North Canal, Burton Sutton Canal, and Willow Bayou Canal that cut across the wetlands.

Slight elevations in the marsh are identified by features like Pines Ridge and the Blue Islands, which stand out against the expanse of water and grasses. To the south and west, the map details significant open water bodies such as Greens Lake and the winding course of Greens Bayou. The presence of these named ridges and islands suggests critical high ground utilized in an otherwise fluid landscape of coastal Louisiana.
