About this map

Lake Eugenie and the intricate coastal wetlands of Saint Bernard Parish define this portion of the Louisiana shoreline. The landscape is a complex labyrinth of saltwater marshes and shifting waterways, where large features like Lake of the Mound and Stump Lagoon transition into narrower channels such as Bayou La Loutre and Bayou Biloxi. This environment represents a critical intersection of marine and estuarine ecosystems, with named landmarks like Pirate Point and Cat Fish Point providing essential navigation cues within the sprawling marsh.

The absence of traditional roads or settlements emphasizes the maritime nature of this region, where life and commerce are dictated by the tides. Small islands and flats, including Wild Goose Island and Goose Flat, dot the open water between Bay Boudreau and Lawson Bay. The map reveals a hydrographic network that has likely supported generations of coastal residents, from early traders navigating Bayou Marron to modern fishers working the rich waters near Redfish Bayou.
