About this map

Chandeleur Sound dominates the eastern expanse of this coastal survey, where the marshlands of Saint Bernard Parish break into a complex network of bays, points, and bayous. The landscape is defined by the fragile boundary between land and sea, featuring prominent landforms such as Door Point and Pelican Point that reach into the surrounding waters. Small landmasses like Sundown Island and Brush Island are isolated within this aquatic environment, while the Pfiefer Keys lie scattered to the north.

Navigational channels and coastal hydrology are meticulously detailed, showing the intricate connections between Grand Pass, Oyster Bay, and Deep Water Pass. Smaller arteries like Chevrette Bayou and Jack Williams Bayou snake through the wetland interior, providing insight into the historical drainage patterns of the Louisiana coast. This data from the U.S. Geological Survey records the specific configuration of these tidal features as they existed in the late 2010s.
