1935 Map of Garden Island Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

Southeast Pass and Northeast Pass carve through the shifting marshland of the Mississippi River Delta as it reaches the Gulf of Mexico. This 1935 survey captures a dynamic coastal environment defined by narrow distributary channels and expansive, shallow bays. The mapping of Old Balize Bayou and Mcale Bayou highlights the intricate network of waterways that once supported maritime activity and early settlements in the region. To the west, the label Francois Bend and the presence of Garden Island Pass indicate specific navigable points and landmarks within the delta's complex geography. The detailed depiction of Redfish Bay and North Shore Bay reflects the land-building processes and coastal erosion patterns inherent to this section of Plaquemines Parish during the mid-1930s.
