2025 Map of Chandeleur Light

About this map

Chandeleur Islands occupy a tenuous position in this 2025 digital survey, appearing as small remnants within the broad Gulf of America. This specific quadrangle captures a landscape defined almost entirely by water, where the shifting sands of these barrier islands are the only terrestrial features present. The map's sparse labels reflect a dynamic maritime environment off the coast of St. Bernard Parish, where the lack of traditional topographic contours or man-made infrastructure underscores the isolation and vulnerability of this coastal chain. For researchers or conservationists, the placement of these tiny landmasses offers a clear data point in the ongoing transformation of the Louisiana shoreline.
