2024 Map of Marone Point

About this map

Cote Blanche Island rises as a prominent geographic feature above the marshy lowlands and open waters of the Louisiana coast. This coastal landscape is defined by its position between West Cote Blanche Bay and East Cote Blanche Bay, where the boundary between St. Mary Parish and Iberia Parish meets the shoreline. The island is marked by Red Bluff and is one of the few areas in this marshy environment with established infrastructure, including Luke St. To the east, the map details a network of narrow waterways and coastal landforms such as Bayou Carlin and Point No Point. This 2024 survey captures the intricate relationship between the eroding coastline and the sediment-rich bayous, providing a clear picture of the land-water interface at Marone Point and the surrounding Jaws Bay.
