About this map

The Gulf of Mexico dominates this nautical expanse, representing a remote stretch of the outer Louisiana coastline. Defined primarily by the maritime boundary of St. Bernard Parish, this area serves as a critical point of geographic reference for the marshy fringes of the Mississippi River Delta. While the map is predominantly open water, it precisely delineates the administrative limits of Louisiana, providing an essential record of territorial waters and coastal jurisdiction in the early 21st century. The simplicity of the terrain reflects the fluid and shifting nature of the state's southeastern extremity, where the land and sea meet in a complex, ever-changing environment.
