2015 Map of Breton Islands

About this map

Breton Islands stand as isolated landforms amidst the expanse of the Gulf of Mexico in this coastal survey of Plaquemines Parish. The map documents the specific geographic positions of Breton, North Point, and West Point, reflecting the precarious nature of these barrier features along the outer fringes of the Mississippi River delta. Because the terrain is entirely comprised of low-lying islands, the survey focuses on precise shoreline coordinates and the maritime boundary that separates these gulf waters from the territorial reaches of Louisiana.
