1893 Map of East Delta

USGS Topo · Published 1924

About this map

Port Eads and Balize anchor this late nineteenth-century maritime study of the Mississippi River's mouth, where the delta splays into the Gulf of Mexico. This map, based on 1891 surveys, captures the complex hydrology of the bird's-foot delta before modern coastal erosion significantly altered these landforms. Notable navigation aids and outposts such as the Pass A Loutre Light, Revenue Station, and South Pass Light mark the treacherous channels where river traffic met the sea.
