2012 Map of Saint Joe Pass

About this map

Lakeshore and the neighboring settlement of Ansley sit at the edge of a complex marshland where the Mississippi coastline begins its transition into the deltaic landscape. This 2012 survey illustrates the intricate network of waterways defining the area, including Three Oaks Bayou, Redfish Bayou, and Heron Bay Bayou, which drain into the expansive Heron Bay. Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by the Bayou Caddy Cem and landmarks such as Lighthouse Point and Saint Joseph Point. The map also documents a recreational landscape of fishing camps, specifically Bordage Fishing Camp and LaFrance Fishing Camp, scattered along the coastal fringe. To the south, isolated landforms like Half Moon Island and Grassy Island emerge from the sound, marking the outer limits of the state's coastal marshes.
