About this map

Cypremort Point serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape, situated where the Louisiana marshlands meet the expanse of Vermilion Bay. This 2012 survey documents a delicate geography of points and bayous, featuring the Cypremort Point State Park and the man-made industrial imprint of the Quintana Canal. The coastal economy is evident in the presence of the West Cote Blanche Bay Oil and Gas Field, which occupies the submerged landscape to the south.

Water dominates the region, with Hammock Lake and Horse Bay breaking up the low-lying terrain. Local navigation is traced through a network of waterways including Shark Bayou and Horse Bayou, while landmarks like Dead Cypress Point and Crawford Point define the shifting shoreline. Residential development at the point is concentrated along Cove Row and Oak Ln, reached by the terminous of H.W.Y. 319.
