2025 Map of Hell Hole Bayou
USGS Topo · Published 2025About this map
Vermilion Bay and the northern reaches of Marsh Island dominate this coastal landscape where the Louisiana marsh meets the Gulf of America. The map reveals a complex aquatic environment defined by significant landforms like Deadman Island and the Tete Butte Reef, which sit amidst a network of tidal waters including Portage Lake and Hell Hole Bayou. Navigational features are critical here, evidenced by the Acadiana Navigation Channel and the narrow passage of Southwest Pass. Points of land such as Lighthouse Point and Porpoise Point mark the shifting boundaries of the marsh, illustrating a wilderness area shaped entirely by hydrology and coastal erosion rather than human settlement.
