2020 Map of Door Point

About this map

Chandeleur Sound dominates this coastal survey, where the marshlands of Saint Bernard Parish break into a complex network of bayous and islands. The landscape is defined by its fluid geography, anchored by prominent landforms like Point Chevrette and Door Point. This maritime environment is deeply interconnected, with named waterways such as Jack Williams Bayou and Murder Bayou cutting through the wetlands to reach Door Point Lagoon and Southeast Jack Williams Bay. Farther out, the Pfiefer Keys, Sundown Island, and Brush Island emerge from the water, serving as critical landmarks for navigating the transition from protected inlets to the open sound. The map's detailed hydrography traces the tidal passes and bays, including Grand Pass and Deep Water Pass, reflecting a region where the boundary between land and Gulf is constantly shifting.
