2018 Map of Hackberry Beach

About this map

Hackberry Beach fronts the northern shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico in this coastal Cameron Parish survey. The landscape is defined by the thin strip of beach terrain that separates the open Gulf from a network of inland wetlands and tidal waters. Just behind the shoreline, the map identifies Lower Mud Lake and the mouth of Kings Bayou, illustrating the dynamic interface between the marsh and the sea. The area is marked by its isolation, showing primarily natural features and the systematic division of public land townships, including t15s r7w and t15s r6w. This survey provides a modern record of this vulnerable stretch of the Louisiana coast before ongoing coastal erosion and shifting silt deposits further alter the shoreline.
