About this map

Mississippi River silt and currents define the shifting marshlands of Plaquemines Parish in this 1930s-era field study. The landscape is a labyrinth of waterways, where the Grand Pass and Tiger Bayou weave through Jaquines Island, creating a complex delta environment. Human activity is concentrated along the riverbanks, most notably at Pilot Town and the Old Quarantine Sta, highlighting the area's critical role in maritime navigation and public health at the entrance to the American interior.
