2018 Map of Chandeleur Light OE W

About this map

Gulf of Mexico waters dominate this maritime survey of the outer reaches of Saint Bernard Parish. Positioned within the barrier island system of the Louisiana coast, the map focuses on the open expanse where the gulf meets the Chandeleur Sound. This specific region is defined by its lack of terrestrial landmass, instead providing a precise record of the bathymetric and hydrographic boundaries as they existed in the late 2010s. For researchers and maritime historians, the sheet offers a clear depiction of the aquatic environment and territorial limits surrounding the Chandeleur Islands chain, essential for understanding the shifting coastal dynamics of this volatile portion of the Louisiana shoreline.
