About this map

Grand Isle stands as a prominent barrier settlement along the Louisiana coast, where residential streets like W Orleans Ave and Catherine Ln line the narrow strip of land facing the Gulf of Mexico. To the west, the community of Cheniere Caminada and the Cheniere Caminada Cemetery mark the historical footprint of this coastal region, connected to the mainland by modern roads like Pump Station Rd.

The surrounding environment is a complex network of wetlands and waterways, including Bayou Thunder Von Tranc and Bay Saint Honore. The boundary between Lafourche Parish and Jefferson Parish cuts through this aqueous landscape, which is defined by features such as Elmers Island and Lake Laurier. The map documents the shifting interface of water and land, from the protected reaches of Bayou Palourde to the open Gulf waters.
