2018 Map of Lake Point

About this map

Marsh Island dominates the western edge of this coastal survey, where the Louisiana shoreline meets the vast Gulf of Mexico. This territory is defined by the transition from open water to the labyrinthine wetlands of the Iberia Parish and St. Mary Parish boundary line. The prominent landform of Lake Point juts into the waters between West Cote Blanche Bay and East Cote Blanche Bay, serving as a critical navigation marker for vessels moving through East Pass. Inland from the point, Lake Sand and Hawkins Bayou illustrate the intricate hydrology of the salt marsh environment. The map provides a clear record of the coastal geography as it existed in the late 2010s, showing the specific township lines of t17s r7e superimposed over this volatile aquatic landscape.
