1970 Map of Point Chevreuil

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The coastal marshlands of St. Mary Parish meet the waters of East Cote Blanche Bay and Atchafalaya Bay in this 1970 survey. The landscape is defined by the extraction economy and the tidal influence of the Gulf, with the East Cote Blanche Bay Oil and Gas Field and several offshore platforms marking the transition from land to sea. Settlements like Gordy, Luke Landing, and Burns follow the high ground along the winding course of Bayou Sale, where the South Bend Cem stands near the northern edge. Significant terrain features include the distinct projection of Point Chevreuil and the isolated Rabbit Island to the west. The map also captures the intricate network of wetlands, naming Tucky Hammock, Salt Point, and numerous waterways such as Leopard Bayou and Horseshoe Bayou, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Louisiana coast before modern shoreline shifts.
