2024 Map of Lake Felicity

About this map

Lake Felicity and the surrounding marshlands of south Louisiana define this coastal landscape, where the boundary between Terrebonne Parish and Lafourche Parish winds through a complex network of waterways. The transition from open water to fragmented marsh is visible through features like Grand Point and Felicity Island, highlighting the fragile geography of the Gulf coast. Extensive bayous such as Bayou Pointe au Chien and Bayou Jean Lacroix serve as the primary arteries of the region, historically vital for navigation and local industry in the wetlands. Smaller bodies of water like Lake Chien, Lake Billiot, and Lake du Diable are interconnected by cuts and passes including Grand Cut and Coupe Creuse, illustrating the hydraulic patterns of this estuarine environment just north of Lake Raccourci.
