2020 Map of Malheureux Point

About this map

Malheureux Point anchors a shifting coastal landscape at the southeastern edge of Lake Borgne, where the intricate wetlands of Saint Bernard Parish meet the open water. This maritime environment is defined by a dense network of tidal channels and basins, including Bayou La Fee, Blind Bay, and Mosquito Inlet. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the dynamic nature of this deltaic region, which is dominated by marshland and small islands such as Le Petit Pass Island and Raccoon Island. Local history is preserved in the names of the waterways, with Trappers Bayou and Whiskey Bayou suggesting the traditional economic activities of the coastal Louisiana marsh. Further inland, the Lakes of Bayou Marron and False Mouth Bay illustrate the fragmented shoreline characteristic of this low-lying territory.
