Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal dominates this coastal landscape in Saint Bernard Parish, cutting a massive diagonal through the wetlands and marshy inlets. The terrain is a complex network of brackish water bodies, where larger basins like Lena Lagoon and Lake Borgne meet winding natural channels such as Bayou la Loutre and Bayou Saint Malo. The map illustrates the contemporary configuration of the Louisiana shoreline, where the land-water boundary is constantly shifting.
