About this map

Grand Chenier Ridge stands as the primary elevated corridor through this stretch of coastal Cameron Parish, where land and water merge into a complex system of marshes and tidal inlets. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with Hog Bayou and the Club Canal carving paths through the wetlands toward the open waters of the Gulf of America. Smaller water bodies like Crab Lake and Beach Pond dot the marshy interior, connected by winding waterways such as Beach Prong and Pren Branch.

This 2025 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a sparsely populated region where human intervention is primarily seen in the straight lines of canals and the narrow strip of development along the ridge. The proximity of First Lake to the shoreline highlights the fragile nature of the Louisiana coast, where every waterway serves as a vital component of the local ecological and hydraulic network.
