2020 Map of Coquille Point

About this map

Battledore Reef and the fragile marshes of the Mississippi River Delta characterize this maritime landscape in Plaquemines Parish. The map documents a shifting environment where the waters of Quarantine Bay and Grand Bay meet narrow strips of land. Notable landforms such as Sable Island and Raccoon Point illustrate the fragmented nature of the coastal shelf as it transitions into the Gulf. The presence of Fort Bayou and Bayou Plaquemines indicates the complex network of tidal channels that define this region. This survey serves as a vital record of the Louisiana coastline, showing the precise locations of named features like Coquille Point and Deepwater Point amidst the vast aquatic reaches of Little Coquille Bay and Grand Coquille Bay.
