2015 Map of Burrwood Bayou East

About this map

Gulf of Mexico waters dominate this coastal survey at the tip of the Mississippi River delta, documenting the maritime environment of Plaquemines Parish. The transition from the open sea to the marshy interior is marked by the Southwest Pass and West Bay, which define the fragmented shoreline of this critical navigation corridor. This 2015 update captures the geography of Burrwood Bayou and the artificial drainage of Outlet E-1, reflecting the ongoing coastal dynamics and land loss in southern Louisiana. With no significant inland settlements or roads, the map serves as a detailed record of the parish boundary and the shifting interface between the river's distributaries and the ocean.
