About this map

The coastal wetlands and bayous of St. Mary Parish define this corner of the Louisiana shoreline, where the waters of the Gulf of Mexico meet East Cole Blanche Bay. This 2015 study traces the intricate network of waterways like Oyster Bayou and Bayou Sale that have long shaped local industry and navigation. Small outposts such as Burns, Luke Landing, and Gordy are positioned along the terrestrial fringe, connected by roads like La-317 and specialized industrial routes including Mobil Oil Ln and United Gas Lane 1.

Cultural and geological markers remain preserved in the marshy landscape, from the South Bend Cem in the north to the prominent Point Chevreuil in the south. The map documents the complex shoreline including Salt Point and Tucky Hammock, as well as the transition into Iberia Parish near Rabbit Island. This record is particularly valuable for tracking the coastal marsh configuration and established landing sites at a specific moment in the mid-2010s.
