2012 Map of Lake La Graisse

About this map

Bayou Terrebonne winds through the northern portion of this Louisiana coastal landscape, where the marshy fingers of the delta transition into open water. This 2012 survey documents a fragile environment dominated by the sprawling Terrebonne Bay and the northern reaches of the Gulf of Mexico. The map highlights the interplay of tidal waterways and receding landmasses, characteristic of the state's southern parish coastlines. To the northeast, the waters of Lake Barre are prominent, while small land features like Point Meshe provide critical reference points in an area defined by shifting shorelines. To the south, Bayou l'Ourse represents the intricate network of distributaries that have historically shaped this region's geography and local navigation routes.
