About this map

New Orleans sits at the northwestern edge of this expansive coastal survey, where the concentrated development of Chalmette and St Claude Heights transitions into the fragile wetlands of the Mississippi Delta. The Mississippi River defines the western corridor, flanked by established settlements like Belle Chasse and Braithwaite. To the east, the landscape dissolves into a complex network of bays and sounds, including Chandeleur Sound and Breton Sound. This environment is punctuated by isolated fishing and trapping communities such as Shell Beach, Hopedale, and Delacroix.
