2024 Map of Tigre Lagoon

About this map

The boundary between Iberia Parish and Vermilion Parish defines this coastal landscape where the Louisiana marsh meets the expansive Vermilion Bay. The area is characterized by a complex network of natural bayous and engineered waterways, including the Intracoastal Waterway and the Acadiana Navigation Channel, which facilitate transit through the low-lying terrain. The map highlights the interplay of land and water at sites like Champlain Point and Shark Island, while inland features such as Tigre Lagoon and Bayou Petite Anse illustrate the intricate drainage patterns of the gulf coast. These waterways, alongside the Avery Canal, reflect a region shaped by both commercial navigation and the natural rhythms of the marshland. The lack of dense road infrastructure underscores the dominance of the wetland environment in this part of southern Louisiana.
