1955 Map of Door Point

About this map

Chandeleur Sound dominates this mid-century maritime survey of St. Bernard Parish, revealing a complex network of coastal marshlands and open water. The map shows the fragile geography of the Louisiana coast as it appeared before decades of significant erosion, with defined features such as Door Point and its associated Door Point Lagoon providing key landmarks for navigation. Several aids to navigation, including the Door Point Light and Grand Pass Light, mark the critical passages through the barrier islands and interior bays.
