2012 Map of Isle au Pitre

About this map

The low-lying archipelago and submerged shoals of the Mississippi Sound are captured here, centered on the fragmented landmass of Isle au Pitre. This maritime environment is defined by shifting sandbars and shallow water features such as Pistol Bank and the Potato Hills, which present a complex navigational landscape. To the north, the western tip of Cat Island emerges at West Point, while the southern reaches of the map show the intricate marshy channels of Bayou Pierre and Little Bayou Pierre. The presence of the Intracoastal Waterway cutting through the northern waters highlights the area's significance for regional transit, even as isolated features like Pelican Key and Merrill Coquille indicate the fragile, ever-changing nature of the coastal shelf at the Louisiana and Mississippi border.
