About this map

Marsh Island dominates this coastal survey, where the southern reaches of Iberia Parish meet the open waters of the Gulf Of Mexico. The landscape is defined by vast conservation efforts, most notably the Russell Sage Foundation State Game Refuge, reflecting early 20th-century private and public initiatives to protect Gulf Coast ecosystems. Extensive Shell Reefs extend southward into the gulf, anchoring the Shell Keys Bird Reservation, a critical habitat for migratory and resident bird populations. The intricate hydrology of the marsh is marked by the split of Oyster Bayou into its West Branch and East Branch, forming a network of tidal channels that carve through the wetlands. Navigation and geography are pinned to landmarks like Mound Point and South Point, which provide the few fixed reference points along the shifting, water-dominated edge of East Cote Blanche Bay.
