1956 Map of Grand Island Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The salt marshes and tidal bayous of the Mississippi-Louisiana border define this coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape dissolves into Mississippi Sound and Lake Borgne. Small coastal settlements like Ansley and Lakeshore anchor the northern edge of the map, while the interior is dominated by a complex network of waterways including Bayou Caddy, Campbell Bayou, and Bayou Toucre. The map reveals the intricate colonial legacy of the Gulf Coast through the inclusion of private land grants such as the Stephen Wintworth Claim and Nancy Collins Claim. Out in the sound, the topography focuses on the fragmented landmasses of Grand Island, Pokey Dutch Island, and Grassy Island. Navigational markers like a Derrick and various Lights indicate the maritime activity surrounding St Joseph Point and the Grand Island Pass.
