2020 Map of Oyster Bayou
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
Point Au Fer Island sits at the edge of the southern Louisiana marshlands where the intricate coastal hydrology meets the open Gulf of Mexico. This area of Terrebonne Parish is defined by its labyrinthine waterways, including the winding course of Oyster Bayou and the smaller Vouvia Bayou. The map illustrates the fragile boundary between land and sea, where protected waters like Bay Castagnier and Fourleague Bay are separated from the gulf by thin strips of marsh. Internal drainage features such as Little Mosquito Bayou reveal the tidal complexity of this wetland environment. The presence of Public Land Survey System identifiers like t21s r12e and t21s r13e provides a grid for locating specific coastal tracts in a region where solid ground is increasingly scarce.
