About this map

Lacassine National Wildlife Refuge dominates this coastal Louisiana landscape, preserving a vast expanse of freshwater marsh and wetland habitat in Cameron Parish. The hydrology is defined by the east-west passage of the Intracoastal Waterway, which cuts through the marsh north of Lake Misere. This area represents a complex transition where managed water systems like the Bell City Drainage Canal meet natural features such as Bayou Misere and Little Lake Misere. Small elevations in the otherwise flat marshland are identified by distinctive local names, including Jims Ridge, Mango Ridge, and Lost Island. These "ridges" and "groves," such as Blue Grove and Black Grove, historically served as critical high ground for navigation and wildlife in the sprawling coastal prairie and marsh environment. The constricted passage known as The Narrows connects the larger lake bodies, illustrating the intricate natural drainage patterns of the Chenier Plain.
