2015 Map of Coquille Point

About this map

Battledore Reef and the open expanse of the Gulf of Mexico dominate this coastal landscape at the edge of the Mississippi River delta. The environment is defined by a precarious threshold where the land dissolves into a network of bays and passes, including Raccoon Pass and the waters of Bay Denesse. This survey records the fragmented geography of Sable Island and several prominent landforms such as Little Raccoon Point and Coquille Point. Further south, the map details the intricate hydrography of Bayou Plaquemines and Fort Bayou, which feed into Little Coquille Bay and Grand Coquille Bay. The layout of these features demonstrates the complex interplay of sedimentation and coastal erosion in a region where landmarks like Deepwater Point and Fort Point serve as critical navigational markers.
