Lake Pontchartrain dominates this coastal landscape, where the southern reaches of St. Tammany Parish meet the northern boundaries of Orleans Parish. The map highlights the extensive conservation efforts in the region, featuring the marshy expansions of the Big Branch Marsh National Wildlife Refuge to the north and the Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge at the southern edge of the lake. These protected wetlands surround developing waterfront communities like Eden Isle and Slidell, which are interlaced with intricate canal systems and marinas such as Moonraker Island.
