About this map

Lake Maurepas dominates this coastal Louisiana landscape, where the shifting boundaries of water and wetlands define the region's character. The 2012 survey illustrates a complex network of waterways, including the Blind River and Mississippi Bayou, which weave through the low-lying terrain. The map captures the presence of the South Lake Maurepas Gas Field near the southern shoreline, marking a site of industrial activity amidst the natural delta environment.

Engineering efforts to manage water flow are visible through the Reserve Relief Canal, while natural features like Big Cypress Point and Little Cypress Point designate the eastern shore's profile. For researchers of Livingston Parish, the map provides a detailed view of the hydrologic pattern including Dutch Bayou, Alligator Bayou, and Bayou Bec Croche, offering insight into the environmental state of the lake's western reaches in the early 21st century.
