About this map

Bayou Sale defines the transition from the marshlands of St. Mary Parish into the open waters of East Cote Blanche Bay and the Gulf of America. This coastal landscape is dominated by tidal waterways such as Oyster Bayou, Lone Oak Bayou, and Leopard Bayou, which snake through a complex network of wetlands. Small settlements like Gordy and Burns are situated along the narrow strip of higher ground between the W Bayou Sale Levee and E Bayou Sale Levee.

Industry and transport are evident through the presence of Mobil Oil Ln and United Gas Ln, reflecting the importance of energy infrastructure in the Louisiana wetlands. Historic local sites include the South Bend Cem and distinctive landforms like Tucky Hammock and Point Chevreuil. The boundary between St. Mary Parish and Iberia Parish cuts across the western portion of the map, passing near Rabbit Island.
