2020 Map of Oak Mound Bayou

About this map

Oak Mound Bayou winds through the salt marshes and maritime edges of Saint Bernard Parish in this coastal survey. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of tidal waterways, including Dutchman Pass and Southwest Pass, which separate the mainland from fragmented terrain like the Mud Grass Islands. These islands and the surrounding waters, such as Fishing Smack Bay and Drum Bay, illustrate the fluid nature of the Louisiana coastline where land gradually dissolves into the Gulf. Named points of interest for local history include Anderson Point and the evocative Deadmans Bayou, alongside Bayou Tobacco and Bayou De Soto. This map records the precise layout of sections and townships across this aquatic environment, showing how survey lines were established even over open water and marsh.
