2018 Map of Bay Ronquille

About this map

The low-lying coastal marshes of Point Cheniere Ronquille define this reach of Plaquemines Parish, where the land fragmentizes into a labyrinth of salt bays and inlets. This 2018 survey documents a landscape dominated by the Gulf Of Mexico, showing the intricate network of water bodies including Bay Ronquille and Bay Long. The presence of the Robinson Canal and Bayou La Mer indicates the persistent human efforts to navigate and manage this shifting deltaic environment. Further inland, named features like Lake Grand Ecaille and Billet Bay illustrate the coastal geography just before it yields to more open water. This map is a record of the fragile transition between the Louisiana mainland and the sea, highlighting the various passes and bays such as Quatre Bayou Pass that allow tidal exchange throughout the marsh.
