2020 Map of Lake Felicity

About this map

Lake Felicity dominates the center of this coastal landscape, situated within a complex network of wetlands and tidal channels along the Lafourche Parish and Terrebonne Parish line. The 2020 hydrology illustrates a fragmented marshland where large bodies of water like Lake Chien and Lake Billiot are connected by narrow cuts and bayous. Significant landmarks such as Grand Point and Felicity Island provide geographic anchors in this fluid environment. The intricate nature of the southern shoreline is evidenced by features like Old Lady Lake and the Formation Islands. This map provides a modern record of the intertidal zones and watercourses, including Bayou Saint Jean Charles and Bayou Jean Lacroix, which define the upper reaches of the quadrangle before they drain toward the Gulf. The absence of traditional roads underscores the reliance on waterways like Bayou Pointe au Chien for navigation and connectivity in this remote section of the Louisiana coast.
