About this map

The low-lying coastal marshes of Cameron Parish are defined here by a complex network of wetlands and industrial extraction points along the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is dominated by tidal waterways like Hog Bayou and Club Canal, which navigate between shallow bodies of water including Crab Lake and First Lake. The area's economic character is clearly illustrated by the systematic distribution of energy resources, notably the Hog Bayou Oil and Gas Field and the South Grand Chenier Gas Field.

Further south and offshore, the Block Number 4 Gas Field highlights the extent of gulf floor development. These features, along with specialized waterways like the Club Canal, show how this portion of the Louisiana shoreline has been adapted for resource management. The map provides a precise record of the shoreline and hydrology of this marshy region, including smaller features such as Beach Pond, which are critical for local environmental and land-use studies.
