2020 Map of Yscloskey

About this map

Yscloskey and Alluvial City sit at the intersection of several critical waterways in this coastal St. Bernard Parish landscape. The settlement of Shell Beach remains a focal point on Lake Borgne, connected to the interior via the Mississippi River- Gulf Outlet Canal. This environment is defined by an intricate network of marshes and water bodies, including Grand Lagoon, Lake Ameda, and Cochon Bay. Historic water routes like Bayou la Loutre and Bayou Terre Aux Boeufs snake through the wetlands, illustrating the long-standing reliance on natural bayous for navigation and drainage. Further south, the boundary between St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parish cuts through tidal features like Bayou Jean Louis Robin and Bayou Batola, while the small community of Hopedale serves as a remote outpost in this water-dominated territory.
