About this map

Breton Island and its fragile arc define the boundary between the Breton Sound and the Gulf of Mexico in this early 1950s depiction of the Mississippi River Delta. This maritime landscape is dominated by the Delta National Wildlife Refuge and the Breton Bird Reservation, highlighting the region's importance as a conservation area before major coastal changes. The map reveals an intricate network of aquatic features like Dead Women Pass and Main Pass, alongside numerous family-named landmarks and local ponds such as Harris Pond, Lizzamonde Pond, and Japan Island.
