2018 Map of Hammock Lake

About this map

Cypremort Point stands as a focal point along the intricate Louisiana coastline where Vermilion Bay meets the vast expanse of the Gulf of Mexico. This coastal landscape is defined by its transition from firm land to salt marsh, woven together by a network of waterways including the Quintana Canal, Shark Bayou, and Hammock Bayou. The map illustrates the geography of the Iberia Parish and ST. Mary Parish boundary line as it cuts through the bays and marshes. Prominent land features such as Crawford Point, Shark Island, and the tellingly named Dead Cypress Point provide critical landmarks for navigating the wetlands and the open waters of West Cote Blanche Bay. The settlement at Cypremort Point Beach marks the edge of human habitation before the terrain gives way to the shoals and tidal flats of the outer coast.
