2012 Map of Lake Point

About this map

Lake Point and the surrounding marshland of Iberia Parish are depicted during a period of active energy extraction along the Louisiana coast. This maritime landscape is defined by the expanse of West Cote Blanche Bay and East Cote Blanche Bay, where the transition from open water to shoreline is marked by complex inlets and channels like E Pass. The extraction industry is a primary feature of the local economy and geography, evidenced by the presence of the Lake Sand Gas Field and the East Lake Sand Oil and Gas Field near the eastern boundary. Unlike many inland coastal areas, this region shows a focus on offshore and near-shore resource management rather than terrestrial settlement. The map serves as a record of the fragile coastline and the industrial infrastructure integrated into the waters of Lake Sand and the surrounding bays.
