2012 Map of Empire
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
Mississippi River shipping routes and the energy industry define this coastal landscape near the edge of the Gulf. The settlements of Empire, Tropical Bend, and Nairn cling to the narrow strip of land between the river and the marsh, supported by a network of local roads such as Backlevee Rd and Galmiche Ln. Significant river engineering is evident at the Ballandock Structure and the Tropical Bend Revetment, which protect the vital transit corridor.
