2024 Map of Bay Coquette

About this map

The coastal margins of Plaquemines Parish meet the open sea in this detailed look at the southern Louisiana littoral. Pelican Island serves as a critical barrier feature between the inland marsh systems and the vast Gulf of Mexico. The area is defined by its intricate hydrography, where narrow waterways like Scofield Bayou and Bayou Trouve weave through the low-lying terrain. This map captures the modern shoreline and water bodies such as Bay Coquette, documenting a landscape where the boundary between land and water is constantly shifting. The absence of roads or permanent settlements within this quadrangle emphasizes the specialized marine and wetland environment that characterizes this portion of the Mississippi River delta region.
