2012 Map of Lake Le Bleu

About this map

White Lake dominates this coastal Louisiana landscape, illustrating the intricate relationship between open water and the network of bayous that define the marshlands of Vermilion Parish. This survey highlights specialized water routes including the Blackfish Pirogue Trail, Noah Pirogue Trail, and Le Bleu Pirogue Trail, which speak to the traditional shallow-draft navigation essential for traversing these wetlands. The transition from natural waterways to industrial use is evident in the presence of the Old Intracoastal Waterway and the South Florence Gas Field. Smaller bodies of water like Lake Le Bleu, Blackfish Lake, and Turtle Lake are connected by slow-moving channels such as Blackfish Bayou and Corp Mound Bayou, showing a deltaic environment shaped by both tide and commerce.
