About this map

Grand Isle serves as the focal point for this coastal survey, where residential streets like Pamela Blvd and Admiral Craik Dr meet the waters of the Gulf. The map documents the fragile geography of the Louisiana shoreline, where Barataria Pass separates the developed reaches of the island from the protective barrier of Isle Grande Terre. This area is a complex network of bays and bayous, including Bayou Rigaud and Bayou Fifi, which facilitate local maritime navigation and industry.

Further north into Barataria Bay, several smaller landforms such as Queen Bess Island, Mendicant Island, and Beauregard Island appear as vital markers in the coastal marsh. The transition between Jefferson Parish and Plaquemines Parish is delineated through these open waters, passing near Pass Abel and the various inlets like Bay Dispute and Bay Melville. This 2025 edition provides a contemporary view of the shifting sands and critical waterways of the delta.
