2018 Map of Point au Fer OE S
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
Gulf of Mexico waters dominate this coastal survey, where the Louisiana shoreline is represented by the northern tip of Point Au Fer Island. Located at the aquatic boundary of St. Mary Parish and Terrebonne Parish, this area marks a transition from open sea to the marshy periphery of the Atchafalaya basin. The map records the presence of Burkes Bayou as it cuts into the island's terrain, providing a specific reference point for maritime history and coastal change studies. While largely maritime, the inclusion of Public Land Survey System divisions like t21s r11e and t21s r12e offers a framework for tracing property records and jurisdictional lines along this shifting coastline.
