2015 Map of Lake Athanasio OE S

About this map

Mozambique Point stands as a distinct landform where the marshy edges of southern Louisiana meet the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This 2015 survey highlights the coastal boundary between St. Bernard Parish and Plaquemines Parish, a region defined almost entirely by its aquatic landscape. The map focuses on the transition from the sheltered waters of Black Bay into the broader gulf, documenting the shoreline geometry in a sensitive ecological zone. For those studying the shifting hydrology and coastal geography of the Mississippi Delta region, this sheet provides the precise parish line positioning and coastal naming conventions used by the U.S. Geological Survey in the mid-2010s.
