2024 Map of Point Chevreuil

About this map

Bayou Sale Bay and East Cote Blanche Bay meet at the marshy southern terminus of St. Mary Parish, where the land fragments into a complex network of wetlands and tidal channels. Small settlements like Burns and Gordy are perched along the higher ground of the W Bayou Sale Levee and E Bayou Sale Levee, which provide a narrow corridor for infrastructure such as State Rte 317. This coastal landscape is heavily defined by energy transit, as evidenced by United Gas Ln and Mobil Oil Ln cutting through the marsh. To the south, prominent natural features include Point Chevreuil and Rabbit Island, while local genealogy is grounded by the South Bend Cem near the northern map edge. The map captures the delicate balance between the industrial demand for resource access and the encroaching waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
