1951 Map of Lake Point

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Marsh Island dominates this coastal survey, serving as the site of the Russell Sage Foundation State Game Refuge during the mid-twentieth century. The landscape is defined by the transition from the open waters of West Cote Blanche Bay and East Cote Blanche Bay to the intricate network of tidal channels and inland water bodies such as Lake Sand. Soundings and depth curves provide a detailed look at the submerged topography surrounding Lake Point, revealing several Shell Reefs and hazards like submerged piles near East Pass. The map illustrates the specialized environment of the Louisiana coastline where Lews Hawkins Bayou cuts through the marsh, providing a record of the shifting shoreline and wildlife conservation efforts in Iberia Parish before later decades of coastal erosion.
