About this map

The coastal wetlands of Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes are defined by an intricate network of waterways and the vulnerable corridors of land that support local life. Bayou Pointe au Chien serves as a primary artery through this marshy landscape, paralleled by La-665 and the critical infrastructure of Island Rd. These routes provide the only land-based access to communities bordering the Bayou Saint Jean Charles, illustrating the profound reliance on narrow ridges of elevation in the Mississippi River Delta region.

Water management and transportation are further evidenced by the Saint Louis Canal and Viguero Canal, which cut through the tidal marshes near Lake Bully Camp. The map documents a landscape where natural bayous like Grand Bayou and Bayou Jean Lacroix exist alongside engineered channels, reflecting the ongoing human effort to navigate and inhabit this shifting coastal environment at the start of the 21st century.
