2018 Map of Johnson Bayou

About this map

Johnson Bayou PO serves as the central landmark for this coastal stretch of Cameron Parish, where the land dissolves into a complex network of marshes and ridges near the Gulf of Mexico. The geography is defined by narrow, habitable cheniers such as Smith Ridge, Junius Ridge, and Blue Buck Ridge that rise just above the wetlands. These elevations have historically dictated the placement of critical infrastructure and community sites, evidenced by the cluster of local burial grounds including Smith Ridge Cem, Pevoto Cem, and Head of the Hollow Cem.
