About this map

Grand Cheniere Ridge defines the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, providing the only significant elevated ground above the expansive marshlands of Cameron Parish. Established during a period of collaborative surveying by the U.S. Geological Survey and the State of Louisiana, this map captures the intricate drainage patterns of the Hog Bayou system as it meanders toward the Gulf of Mexico. Local hydrology is dominated by small, isolated water bodies like Crab Lake and Beach Pond, while the transit infrastructure is confined to the ridge line along State Highway No. 292. The survey reflects a sparsely populated environment where the natural movement of water across tidal flats and through channels like First Lake dictates the geography, long before modern coastal management altered these wetlands.
