2024 Map of Breton Islands
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Breton Islands stand as a fragile crescent of land within the Breton National Wildlife Refuge, marking a critical barrier between the Breton Sound and the open Gulf of Mexico. This 2024 survey depicts the current geography of the refuge, which includes the federally protected Breton Wilderness. The landscape is defined by remote sandy reaches such as North Point and West Point, which serve as essential habitat for coastal bird populations. As one of the oldest wildlife refuges in the national system, the area's shifting shoals and low-lying topography illustrate the dynamic nature of the Plaquemines Parish coastline, where land is constantly reshaped by tidal forces and storms.
