2020 Map of Hackberry Beach

About this map

The coastal shoreline of Cameron Parish, Louisiana, dominates this recent survey, where the narrow strand of Hackberry Beach separates the inland marsh from the Gulf of Mexico. This low-lying landscape is defined by its transition between land and sea, with significant water features like Lower Mud Lake and Kings Bayou situated just behind the primary beach ridge. The area's geography is structured by the Public Land Survey System, including sections within t15s r7w and t15s r6w. As a contemporary record of the Gulf Coast, the map illustrates the delicate positioning of the coastal chenier system and the intricate network of bayous that drain the Louisiana wetlands into the sea.
