Lake Raccourci and the surrounding coastal marshlands of Lafourche Parish define this 2024 survey of the Louisiana Gulf Coast. The landscape is a complex labyrinth of water and emergent land, where wide bodies like Timbalier Bay and Jacko Camp Bay are connected by narrow tidal arteries such as China Bayou and Pearl Bayou. The presence of aptly named features like Wrong Name Pass suggests the historical navigational challenges inherent in these shifting wetlands.
