The village is spread across coastal chenieres which were formed by deltaic sedimentation by the shifting of the Mississippi River. This geologic formation, the coastal cheniere [https://web.archive.org/web/20100527122846/http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/pdfs/experience/naturalheritage/naturalcommunities/coastalliveoak_hackberry_forest_factsheet.pdf][https://web.archive.org/web/20061012031343/http://www.wlf.state.la.us/pdfs/experience/Coastal%20Live%20Oak-Hackberry%20Forest.pdf], is found only in a few locations across the globe. The population of the community is approximately 400. Johnson Bayou is part of the Lake Charles Metropolitan Statistical Area. HistoryOn October 12, 1886, Johnson Bayou was completely destroyed by the "great storm of 1886;" a storm surge of between seven and twelve feet that swept inland at Johnson Bayou, killing between 50 and 100 people.[1][2][3][4][5] Between Sabine Pass and Beaumont, thirty miles of track of the Sabine and East Texas Railway, were damaged badly and partly washed away.[6] Johnson Bayou was hit again by Hurricane Audrey in 1957, and yet again by Hurricane Rita on September 24, 2005. On September 13, 2007, Hurricane Humberto made landfall west of Johnson Bayou at High Island, Texas, bringing heavy rains to the community. On September 13, 2008, Hurricane Ike made landfall on the upper Texas coast, causing extensive damage to the region (NOAA). GeographyLocation: 29.7613323 -93.6584918 (29°45'40"N 93°39'30"W). Elevation: 5 to 7 feet (2 m). Johnson Bayou is located on Louisiana Highway 82, {{convert|12|mi|km}} west of Holly Beach, and {{convert|28|mi|km}} southeast, across the Sabine Pass channel, of Port Arthur, Texas. CultureThe Holleyman Bird Sanctuary/Peveto Woods Bird and Butterfly Sanctuary is located in the community, and is south of the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge. Johnson Bayou is home to four natural gas pipelines, and the future home of one of the largest LNG Terminals in the world. This LNG regasification terminal is being built by Cheniere Energy. https://web.archive.org/web/20071215224830/http://www.cheniere.com/default.shtml EducationCameron Parish School Board operates Johnson Bayou High School, a combined primary and secondary school serving the area.
