2025 Map of Burrwood Bayou East

About this map

Southwest Pass defines this coastal landscape where the Mississippi River delta meets the Gulf of America. This 2025 survey illustrates the modern configuration of critical shipping channels and coastal marshes at the very tip of Plaquemines Parish. The map documents the relationship between major waterways like West Bay and smaller distributary features such as Outlet E-1 and Burrwood Bayou. These features represent the dynamic nature of Louisiana’s southern coastline, where land and water constantly shift. The lack of terrestrial infrastructure underscores the environmental significance of this maritime frontier, focused entirely on the navigation routes and wetlands that characterize the modern delta.
