What is the very southernmost part of Louisiana?

Venice, or Orchard (part of Venice) by road. The southernmost inhabitated part of LA is Port Eads, or South Pass, only reachable by boat or helicopter. The marina was destroyed in Katrina, but the lighthouse is still there, albeit leaning to one side. $12 was just secured from the Feds to rebuild it, though. So it will be back. The old Harbor Master, Jeffery Scarabin, and one other person, attempted to ride out Katrina there, and were never heard from again. There's Pilottown, which used to be call La Balize, also only accessable by boat or helicopter. The buildings there temporarily house ship pilots, but very few people, less than 20, are there today. It used to be a few miles downriver, but was destroyed in the 19th century. There are also a few small rigs and platforms for pilots, weather stations, and oil drilling along the mouth of the Mississippi.
