Martello Castle stands as a solitary landmark amidst the expansive marshlands and waterways southeast of New Orleans. This coastal landscape is dominated by the massive Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal, which cuts a straight path through the wetlands toward the Gulf of Mexico. The map documents a fragile coastal environment where the boundary between St. Bernard Parish and Orleans Parish is defined more by water than by dry land.
