About this map

Lake Cuatro Caballo sits at the heart of this coastal Louisiana landscape, where the tides of Saint Bernard Parish have sculpted a labyrinth of marshy waterways and shallow basins. This 2012 survey reveals a complex hydrological network defined by the River aux Chenes and the Bay of River Aux Chenes to the south. The absence of traditional roads or terrestrial settlements highlights the isolation of this deltaic region, accessible primarily through the numerous bayous and channels that crisscross the wetlands.

Prominent landmarks such as Deer Island and Lake Campo provide orientation within the shifting geography. The map documents numerous named water bodies including Lake Jean Louis Robin, Round Lake, and Lost Flat Bay, which are connected by a dense web of bayous like Bayou Menard and Polk and Dallas Bayou. For those studying the evolving coastline and water-bound nomenclature of the Louisiana delta, this document provides a specific record of the land-water interface prior to further environmental shifts.
