1993 Map of Breton Islands

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

The Breton National Wildlife Refuge anchors this coastal environment, preserving a thin crescent of land where the Breton Sound meets the open Gulf of Mexico. This 1993 edition reflects the fragile geography of Breton Islands, highlighting prominent landmarks like North Point, West Point, and a Radio Tower. The landscape is a study in the intersection of conservation and industry, as the refuge borders an extensive Oil Field dotted with numerous Oil Wells and a maritime Platform. To the northeast, the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet Canal serves as a critical shipping artery, marked by a navigational Tower. The map provides an essential record of Louisiana's changing coastline before further subsidence and storm events altered these barrier island footprints.
