==Geography== Baie-Mahault (''Mangrove Bay'') is located in the borough called Canton and it extends a vast plain of northeastern [[Basse-Terre Island]], where it meets [[Grande-Terre, Guadeloupe|Grande-Terre]]. A channel, navigable by smaller boats, of from 30 to 100 yards across, called ''Riviere Salee'' or ''Salt River'' separates the two islands. The Baie-Mahault area sets in marshlands and marine cul-de-sacs. The town prospered through fertile arable lands used to grow sugar cane. The mangrove swamps are a few miles east at the Salt River. Baie-Mahault is {{convert|7|km|mi|abbr=on}} northwest of the city of [[Pointe-Γ -Pitre]] and {{convert|8|km|mi|abbr=on}} west of [[Pointe-Γ -Pitre International Airport]].
