1994 Map of Door Point

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

The low-lying coastal marshes and estuarine waters of Chino Bay and West Karako Bay dominate this 1994 chart of the St. Bernard Parish coastline. This landscape is a complex labyrinth of tidal inlets and eroding landmasses, where the distinction between land and water is constantly shifting. Notable features include the isolated Brush Island and the protective spit of Door Point, which separates Door Point Lagoon from the open expanse of Chandeleur Sound. The presence of labels like Murder Bayou and Deep Water Pass highlights the navigation-critical nature of these waterways for local fishing and maritime operations. The map reflects a period of significant environmental transition, documenting the fragile state of these barrier features and interior bayous before further coastal changes. Navigational landmarks such as Pelican Point and Point Chevrette serve as essential reference points in a terrain where traditional roads and trails are entirely absent.
