Isles Dernieres and the remains of the barrier island chain define this coastal landscape, where the land-to-water ratio is in constant flux. The map details the intricate network of tidal openings like Coupe Nouvelle and Whiskey Pass that separate Whiskey Island from the surrounding marshes. The expansive Pelican Lake dominates the central portion of the survey, connected to the open Gulf of Mexico through various channels and passes including Pass Wilson and Caillou Boca.
