About this map

Rigolets Gas Field defines the northern reaches of this coastal quadrangle, where industrial energy extraction meets the tidal waters of Lake Borgne. The landscape is dominated by the intricate wetland systems of the Mississippi River delta, featuring the complex network of the Lakes of Bayou Marron and secluded waters like Magill Lagoon. This 1994 revision, based on surveys dating back to the 1950s, documents a fragile shoreline where narrow passages like Mosquito Inlet provide the only breaks in the marsh. The map illustrates a region almost entirely below five feet in elevation, highlighting the vulnerability and shifting nature of the St. Bernard Parish coastline during the late twentieth century.
