About this map

The Grand Cheniere Ridge defines the inhabited portion of this Cameron Parish coastal landscape, following an elevated strip of land that separates the expansive marsh from the inland waterways. This narrow corridor is home to St Martins Ch and is traversed by State Highway No 292, showing how early settlement patterns in this part of Louisiana were strictly dictated by the available high ground. South of the ridge, the terrain transitions into a vast expanse of wetland characterized by significant water bodies such as Tolan Lake and Hog Bayou. The connectivity between these coastal marshes and the Gulf of Mexico is maintained through natural outlets like Joseph Harbor Bayou, while man-made features like Miller Canal indicate mid-century efforts to manage and navigate this water-dominant environment.
