2020 Map of Jacks Point Island

About this map

White Lake and its vast surrounding marshland dominate this 2020 topographic study of coastal Vermilion Parish. The landscape is defined by the tension between land and water, where named high points like Pine Island, Isle Pevley, and Jacks Point Island rise from the wetlands. Human infrastructure is concentrated in the northern and eastern reaches, centered on the Intracoastal Waterway and a network of drainage and transport features like the Warren Canal. This area reflects the modern coastal Louisiana environment, where access is dictated by both watercraft and a handful of local thoroughfares such as Couvillion Rd and Outside Island Rd. The presence of the Gang Pirogue Trail cutting across the marsh highlights the traditional methods of navigation still vital for traversing this intricate coastal shelf.
