Whiskey Island and the fragments of the Isles Dernieres chain dominate this maritime landscape along the Gulf of Mexico. This 2012 chart documents the fragile shoreline of Terrebonne Parish, showing the narrow strips of sand and marsh that provide a buffer for the inland parish. Industrial activity is noted by the presence of the Pelican Lake Gas Field to the north, highlighting the intersection of coastal energy extraction and a rapidly changing wetland environment. Water bodies like Bay Round and Bayou l'Ourse define the intricate network of inlets and passes, such as Coupe Nouvelle, which separate these barrier islands from the mainland marsh.
