2018 Map of Lake Penchant

About this map

Lake Penchant dominates this hydrologically complex region of the Louisiana coast, where a network of natural bayous and man-made canals defines the landscape. The intricate drainage system is characterized by the winding Bayou Penchant and Bayou la Loutre, which weave through the marshland to connect with larger bodies of water like Lake De Cade. The presence of features such as Huth Canal, Brady Canal, and Peoples Canal illustrates the historical effort to manage water and provide passage through the dense wetlands. Near the southern edge of the survey, Bayou De Cade and Jug Lake highlight the low-lying terrain typical of Terrebonne Parish. This map captures the area as it existed in 2018, showing the delicate balance of land and water at the edge of the Gulf coast.
