About this map

Cypremort Point and the adjacent shoreline of Vermilion Bay anchor this coastal Louisiana survey. The landscape is defined by the intricate transition between the marshlands and the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The local infrastructure includes a small network of roads like La-319 and Beach Ln, which provide access to the recreational and residential areas at Cypremort Point Beach.

Navigable waters and coastal geography take center stage, with the Quintana Canal cutting through the marsh to connect interior points to the bay. Named landmarks like Dead Cypress Point and Crawford Point highlight the shifting nature of the shoreline, while the interior is marked by Hammock Lake and Hammock Bayou. The boundary between Iberia Parish and St. Mary Parish bisects the aquatic landscape, stretching from the northern bayous down through the expansive West Cote Blanche Bay.
