2012 Map of Mound Point

About this map

Shell Keys lie scattered across the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico in this coastal survey of the Louisiana shoreline. The map focuses on the interface where the marshy southern reaches of Iberia Parish meet the open sea, defined by the prominent landmark at Mound Point. To the northeast, the land curves around South Point into the sheltered expanse of East Cote Blanche Bay. This 2012 chart provides a clear view of the complex, shifting hydrology of the bayous and inlets before they dissolve into the Gulf. Because much of the terrain is at sea level, the map emphasizes the specific coastal landforms and points of navigation essential for understanding the maritime geography of the region.
