About this map

Lake Eugenie sits at the center of this coastal landscape in Saint Bernard Parish, where a complex network of marshes and water bodies meets the Gulf Of Mexico. The territory is defined by winding waterways such as Bayou Biloxi, Crooked Bayou, and Bayou la Loutre, which weave through terrain characterized by low-lying landmarks like Wild Goose Island and Goose Flat. The land-water interface is remarkably intricate, shown here with modern precision, including numerous small bays like Lawson Bay and Muscle Bay.

Named points of interest like Pirate Point and Cat Fish Point suggest a long history of maritime activity and local navigation. South of the main lake, Lake of the Mound and Bayou De Soto further illustrate the fragmented nature of the Louisiana shoreline. The absence of traditional roads and towns highlights the area's character as a coastal wilderness, where movement is dictated by the tides and the shifting channels of bayous like Bayou Muscle and Bobs Bayou.
