About this map

Lake Maurepas dominates this wetland landscape, where the shifting boundaries of Livingston Parish and St. John the Baptist Parish meet in the marsh. This 2020 map illustrates a complex network of coastal waterways, including the winding course of the Blind River and the narrow passage of the Blind Rigolets. The terrain is characterized by low-lying features such as Alligator Island and the prominent landings at Big Cypress Point and Little Cypress Point.

A system of drainage and natural bayous, such as Mississippi Bayou and Dutch Bayou, defines the hydrological character of the region. The map also records industrial and management features like the Reserve Relief Canal, showing how the land is navigated and protected south of the river. This documentation of the Louisiana wetlands provides a clear view of the interface between open water and the dense bayou networks including Bayou Bec Croche and Bayou Tent.
