About this map

Oak Mound Bayou meanders through the intricate marshlands of Saint Bernard Parish in this 2012 depiction of the Louisiana coast. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of estuarine waters, where large bodies like Indian Mound Bay and Bay Boudreau meet narrow tidal passages. Notable coastal features include the Mud Grass Islands and Little Mud Grass Islands, providing a detailed look at the fragmented land-and-water interface characteristic of the region.

Southward, the terrain dissolves further into smaller inlets such as Deadmans Bayou and Fishing Smack Bay. For those tracing the shifting geography of the delta, the map preserves the exact alignment of named landmarks like Anderson Point and the Hell Pass Coast before the persistent effects of coastal erosion further alter these shorelines. The absence of roads or permanent structures underscores the environmental focus of this survey, capturing a wild portion of the parish defined by hydrologic features like Bayou De Soto and Live Oak Bayou.
