About this map

Grand Cheniere Ridge defines the inhabited portion of this coastal landscape, standing as a thin, elevated strip of habitable land amidst the marshy terrain of Cameron Parish. This 1932 field survey, updated through 1949, reveals a narrow corridor of development along State Highway No 292, where small land grants are clustered tightly together. The community life of the ridge is anchored by St Martins Ch, while the surrounding environment is dominated by expansive wetlands and coastal hydrology. To the south, the terrain gives way to significant water bodies like Hog Bayou Lake, Second Lake, and Tolan Lake before meeting the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The presence of the Miller Canal and the winding Joseph Harbor Bayou reflects the importance of water management and transport in this low-lying region during the mid-twentieth century.
