2018 Map of Point au Fer
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
Point Au Fer Island sits at the volatile intersection of the Gulf of Mexico and Atchafalaya Bay, marking a critical coastal boundary between St. Mary and Terrebonne parishes. This landscape is defined by its intricate network of tidal passages and marsh features, from the protective Point Au Fer Shell Reef to the interior reaches of Lake Chapeau. The naming conventions found here, such as Dead Alligator Point and Narrow Hammock, reflect the long-standing maritime and swamp-based heritage of coastal Louisiana.
