1970 Map of Lake Point

About this map

Marsh Island dominates this coastal survey, serving as the site for the Russell Sage Foundation-Marsh Island State Wildlife Refuge. The landscape is defined by its low-lying transition between land and water, where Hawkins Bayou and East Pass carve through the northern tip of the island near Lake Point. This 1970 revision captures the coastal environment of the Iberia and St. Mary Parish border before the onset of significant late-century shoreline changes.
