About this map

Malheureux Point marks the transition where the waters of Lake Borgne meet the broader Mississippi Sound in eastern St. Bernard Parish. This low-lying coastal landscape, documented through revisions in the late twentieth century, consists of a complex network of tidal inlets and marshes that define the Louisiana shoreline. The interior is a labyrinth of water bodies including Kennedys Lagoon and the Lakes of Bayou Marron, connected by winding channels such as Mosquito Bayou and Whiskey Bayou. Small landforms like Le Petit Pass Island and Raccoon Island stand as vulnerable markers against the open Gulf waters. The absence of roads or permanent structures underscores the area's isolation, highlighting a landscape shaped entirely by the movement of water between False Mouth Bay and the surrounding coastal sounds.
