About this map

The marshy coast of St. Bernard Parish unfolds in this recent survey, revealing the intricate water systems where the Gulf of Mexico meets the Louisiana wetlands. Central to the landscape is Lake Eugenie, a significant body of water fed by and connected to a labyrinth of smaller channels such as Bayou Muscle and Crooked Bayou. The area is characterized by low-lying terrain features like Goose Flat and named islands such as Wild Goose Island, illustrating the fluid nature of this coastal environment.

Transport through this region has historically relied on these waterways, with Bayou Biloxi and Bayou la Loutre serving as primary corridors. The map records several evocative local landmarks, including Pirate Point and Cat Fish Point, which reflect the area's long-standing connection to maritime and fishing activities. Further inland, the Lakes of Bayou Marron and Lake of the Mound indicate the complex hydrology of the Mississippi River Delta's eastern reaches.
