2018 Map of Malheureux Point

About this map

Malheureux Point anchors a shifting coastal landscape at the edge of Lake Borgne in Saint Bernard Parish. This aquatic environment is defined by an intricate network of tidal channels and islands, where Le Petit Pass separates the mainland from Le Petit Pass Island. The map illustrates a labyrinth of waterways that speak to the region's traditional maritime and trapping history, featuring evocative names like Trappers Bayou and Whiskey Bayou. Further south and east, the territory transitions into larger open waters such as Ninemile Bay and False Mouth Bay, with Raccoon Island marking the southeastern reaches. The absence of roads emphasizes the isolation of this marshland, where navigation is dictated by passages like Blind Pass and Mosquito Inlet.
