2024 Map of Lake Penchant
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Lake Penchant anchors a landscape defined by the intricate hydrology of Terrebonne Parish. The area is dominated by a complex web of natural bayous and artificial waterways, reflecting the region's managed wetlands. Water flows through the Bayou Penchant system and is diverted via engineering features like the Huth Canal, Superior Canal, and Peoples Canal. These canals are characteristic of coastal Louisiana's oil, gas, and drainage history, cutting straight lines across the meandering paths of Bayou la Loutre and Little Carencro Bayou.
