About this map

The coastal marshlands and open waters of the Gulf of Mexico dominate this 2012 survey. This shoreline environment is defined by a dense network of tidal inlets and creeks, such as Grooms Cr and Pinhook River, which carve through the low-lying terrain. Features like Stony Bayou Pool indicate the brackish hydrology of the region.

Navigational hazards and landmarks are scattered across the seafloor, including submerged or partially exposed formations like Cobb Rocks, Grey Mare Rock, and Peters Rock. These features, along with coastal protrusions like Big Redfish Point and Wills Point, serve as primary reference points in an area largely devoid of terrestrial development. The map illustrates the delicate transition between land and sea, where islands like Palmetto Island emerge from the surrounding wetlands.
