2012 Map of Lake Cataouatche East

About this map

Lake Cataouatche and Lake Salvador dominate this coastal landscape, illustrating the intricate relationship between natural bayous and man-made waterways in Jefferson Parish. The presence of the Couba Island Oil Field on Couba Island highlights the industrial footprint within the wetlands, where energy extraction meets the tidal environment. A dense network of engineered channels, including the Avondale Outflow Canal, Labranche Canal, and Bayou Segnette Waterway, facilitates drainage and navigation through the marshes. On the eastern edge, suburban expansion is visible through localized street grids like Alpaca Dr and Trahan St, bordering the Estelle Canal. This 2012 survey provides a clear view of the complex hydrography and resource management infrastructure south of the Mississippi River.
