About this map

Cote Blanche Island rises distinctly above the coastal wetlands of St. Mary Parish, anchoring a landscape where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through a dense network of drainage channels and bayous. This mid-1990s survey reflects a region defined by its historic sugar and agricultural heritage, shown through numerous named settlements like Glencoe, Richland, and Kemper that line the banks of Bayou Cypremort. The presence of Kilgore Plantation and St Helens Cem underscores the long-standing community foundations of the area.

Industrial and agricultural logistics are evident in the complex waterway system, featuring the Ivanhoe Canal, Patout Canal, and Scott Canal. These man-made features, alongside the natural flow of Hog Bayou and Dupuy Coulee, demonstrate the intensive water management required in this low-lying territory near Huckleberry Lake, even as the map notes the quadrangle's location within a subsidence area.
