About this map

The Pass A Loutre bird and game preserve dominates this 1958 survey of the Mississippi River delta, where the river's many fingers reach into the Gulf of Mexico. This is a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways and ridges, including Brant Ridge and Morgan Ridge, which provided the only stable ground amidst the expanding marshes. The remote settlement of Port Eads sits at the southern tip of the quadrangle, serving as a vital outpost near the entrance to South Pass.
