2025 Map of Mound Point

About this map

Marsh Island dominates this coastal survey, where the low-lying terrain meets the waters of the Gulf of America. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, centered on the drainage of Oyster Bayou and its two primary forks, the East Branch Oyster Bayou and West Branch Oyster Bayou. This area of Iberia Parish serves as a significant intersection of coastal marshland and open water, characterized by prominent landmarks like Mound Point and South Point. Further offshore, the Shell Keys are visible, indicating the shifting sediment patterns and shoals typical of this region's maritime environment. To the northeast, the map reaches into East Cote Blanche Bay, providing a clear view of the interface between the interior marsh and the larger bay system during the early 2020s.
