Pointe aux Marchettes stands as a focal point in this 2018 survey of the intricate coastal marshlands in Saint Bernard Parish. Bordered by the expansive waters of Lake Borgne, the landscape is defined by a complex network of tidally influenced waterways and lagoons. Significant drainage routes like Bayou la Loutre and Bayou Saint Malo wind through the wetlands, illustrating the transition between open water and the fragile interior marsh.
