2015 Map of Burrwood Bayou West
USGS Topo · Published 2015About this map
Southwest Pass serves as the primary artery through this distal reach of the Mississippi River Delta, cutting a narrow path between the expanding wetlands of Plaquemines Parish. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation documents the fragile aquatic landscape where the river finally meets the Gulf of Mexico. The survey illustrates the complex interplay of tidal bays and distributaries, including the sheltered waters of Mud Bay and the elongated reach of Burrwood Bayou. Significant for those tracking coastal land loss and deltaic geomorphology, the map shows the thin fingers of land protecting Stake Island Bayou and the broader expanse of West Bay before they succumb to the open sea.
