About this map

Lake Maurepas dominates the eastern expanse of this wetland landscape, where the boundary between Livingston Parish and St. John the Baptist Parish meanders through open water and swampy shoreline. The terrain is defined by a dense network of slow-moving waterways, including Mississippi Bayou, Dutch Bayou, and Alligator Bayou, which thread through the low-lying interior.

Features such as Alligator Island and the prominent projections of Big Cypress Point and Little Cypress Point indicate a fragile coastal ecosystem. To the south, the Reserve Relief Canal provides a stark contrast to the natural curves of Bayou Bec Croche and Bayou Tent, reflecting the managed drainage systems necessary for this part of the Louisiana basin. This 2015 survey illustrates the persistent watery character of the region before any further shoreline or hydrological shifts occurred.
