2020 Map of Chandeleur Light OE W

About this map

Gulf of Mexico waters dominate this coastal survey, which documents the maritime environment of Saint Bernard Parish at the edge of the Mississippi River Delta. This specific area is defined by the transition from the open sea to the protected stretches of Chandeleur Sound. Unlike many mainland quadrangles, this map records a purely nautical landscape, capturing the state of these vital Louisiana fishing and navigation grounds during the 2020 survey period. The absence of landmasses or artificial structures within these specific coordinates highlights the dynamic and fluid nature of the outer delta, where maritime boundaries and underwater topography are the primary features of interest to researchers and hydrologists.
