2012 Map of Rollover Lake

About this map

Rollover Lake sits at the heart of this coastal wetland landscape in Vermilion Parish, where the complex hydrology of the Louisiana shoreline is on full display. The area is defined by a dense network of tidal channels and basins, including Flat Lake and East Constance Lake, which drain toward the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Named waterways like Muskrat Bayou and Pigeon Bayou wind through the marshy terrain, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns characteristic of the Chenier Plain. To the east, Parra Bayou and Rollover Bayou provide critical passage through the wetlands. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the primary use of this territory for navigation and natural resource management, where artificial interventions like Dyson Ditch occasionally intersect the natural flow of the bayous.
