2020 Map of Lake Point

About this map

Marsh Island occupies the southwestern corner of this coastal survey, where the waters of Lake Sand and Hawkins Bayou reach into the low-lying terrain. The map is primarily dominated by the open waters of West Cote Blanche Bay and East Cote Blanche Bay, documenting the transition where Louisiana's marshy fringes meet the Gulf of Mexico. A jurisdictional boundary between Iberia Parish and St. Mary Parish cuts diagonally across the open bay, providing a reference point for maritime and parish records. The settlement of Lake Point sits at a precarious junction between the pass and the interior marsh, illustrating the isolated nature of these coastal outposts. This detailed survey preserves the precise hydrography of East Pass and the surrounding wetlands as they existed in 2020.
