Port Sulphur and the riverfront settlements of Plaquemines Parish occupy a narrow strip of land between the Mississippi River and the sprawling marshlands of the Gulf of Mexico. This coastal landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where named waterways like Bohemia Bayou and Bay La Fourche thread through a dissolving geography of points and bays. The map documents the human presence clinging to the levee, including the Bohemian Cem and the communities of Point Michel, Happy Jack, and Encalade.
