2015 Map of Cow Island OE S

About this map

The Gulf of Mexico dominates this coastal survey, where the waters of the Gulf meet the low-lying marshlands of southwest Louisiana. Grounded in a 2015 data snapshot, the map illustrates the maritime boundary of Louisiana Cameron Parish, tracing a coastline defined by fluid coastal processes rather than permanent landmarks. This specific quadrangle captures a transition zone where the land essentially gives way to the open sea, providing a precise spatial record of the shoreline's position as it existed in the mid-2010s. For researchers of coastal change or local history, the map serves as a clean baseline for observing the intersection of parish administrative lines with the shifting southern edge of the state.
