About this map

Breton National Wildlife Refuge and the Delta National Wildlife Refuge dominate this coastal landscape, capturing the intricate deltaic transition between the Gulf of Mexico and Breton Sound. In the late 1950s, this region was a critical intersection of conservation and industrial expansion. The map shows the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet Channel under construction, a massive engineering project designed to provide a shorter shipping route to New Orleans.
