2015 Map of Bay Ronquille

About this map

Bay Ronquille and the surrounding marshlands of Plaquemines Parish dominate this coastal landscape, where the shifting interface of water and land is meticulously recorded. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of bays and inlets, including Bay Long and the expansive Bay Cheniere Ronquille. Human intervention in this tidal environment is evident through the straight cut of the Robinson Canal and the presence of localized landings and structures along the southern shoreline of Bayou La Mer. This survey documents a fragile coastal zone defined by historical passageways like Quatre Bayou Pass, where the interior estuarine waters meet the open Gulf of Mexico. Significant features such as Point Cheniere Ronquille serve as important navigational and ecological reference points within this dynamic deltaic system.
