1982 Map of Chandeleur Light

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Chandeleur Islands form a narrow arc between the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the sheltered Chandeleur Sound in this early 1980s coastal survey. The northern tip of this barrier chain is defined by Hewes Point, where the Chandeleur Light stands as a vital navigational aid for maritime traffic navigating the outer reaches of St. Bernard Parish. Most of the landmass shown is protected as part of the Breton National Wilderness and Wildlife Refuge, an area characterized by shifting sands and low-lying coastal terrain. The map captures the fragile geography of the archipelago before the significant coastal erosion of later decades, showing the intricate relationship between the gulf and the sound environments.
