2024 Map of Rollover Lake

About this map

The Gulf of Mexico coastline defines this coastal landscape where the waters of the Gulf meet the intricate marshland drainage of Vermilion Parish and Cameron Parish. The interior is dominated by wide, shallow basins such as Flat Lake and Rollover Lake, which are interconnected by a labyrinthine network of tidal channels. Waterways like Muskrat Bayou, East Constance Bayou, and Rollover Bayou trace the low-lying topography, illustrating the fluid boundaries between the coastal wetlands and the sea. This contemporary survey shows the coastal margin as it exists in the early twenty-first century, highlighting man-made alterations to the drainage pattern like Dyson Ditch alongside natural features such as North Bayou and Pigeon Bayou. The absence of roads or settlements emphasizes the remote, aquatic nature of this Gulf Coast environment.
