2020 Map of Freemason Island

About this map

Freemason Island sits as a solitary landform within the expansive waters of Chandeleur Sound in this 2020 survey of the Louisiana coast. This maritime landscape in Saint Bernard Parish is dominated by open water, illustrating the isolated nature of the barrier islands that protect the mainland. To the northeast, the North Islands appear as small outcroppings on the horizon. The map reflects a highly dynamic coastal environment where small changes in elevation and sea level determine the very existence of these named features. For researchers of Gulf Coast geography, this document provides a precise record of the shoreline and visible landmasses at a specific moment in the twenty-first century.
