2012 Map of Grand Isle

About this map

Grand Isle stands as a narrow barrier between the sheltered bay waters and the open Gulf of Mexico, its limited land area densely organized along a network of residential lanes and avenues. This 2012 survey shows the community's layout just south of the mainland, where local life is centered around the Post Office and the Grand Isle Cemetery. The map captures the precarious nature of coastal settlement, where streets like Orleans Ave and Cypress Ln terminate abruptly at the shoreline.
