About this map

Sabine Lake defines the western edge of this coastal landscape, where the Texas-Louisiana border meets the Gulf marshlands of Cameron Parish. This intricate network of tidal waterways and coastal ridges is anchored by the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge in the northeast, preserving a critical wetland habitat. The terrain is characterized by long, narrow elevated features known as cheniers, which provided essential dry ground for early inhabitants. These ridges, including Blue Buck Ridge, Sanders Ridge, and Garrison Ridge, reveal the historic settlement pattern of the region. Transportation is concentrated along La-82, which traverses the southernmost ridges. The hydrology is dominated by the meandering Madame Johnson Bayou and its namesake Madame Johnson Bayou Lake, illustrating the complex drainage system of the Louisiana Chenier Plain.
