2018 Map of Marone Point

About this map

Cote Blanche Island rises above the surrounding marshes and coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico, serving as a prominent landform on this portion of the Louisiana shoreline. The landscape is defined by the meeting of several large water bodies, including West Cote Blanche Bay and East Cote Blanche Bay, which are separated by the subtle protrusion of Marone Point. Coastal features like Red Bluff and Point No Point indicate the low-lying, tidal nature of the terrain, while the parish boundary between St. Mary Parish and Iberia Parish cuts across the open waters of the bay. In the northeast, a network of waterways including Jaws Bay, Bayou Long, and Bayou Carlin illustrates the complex drainage system of the coastal wetlands, where small local roads like Luke St and Harry provide limited access to the interior of the island landmass.
