1983 Map of Mississippi River Delta

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Mississippi River winds through the heart of the lower delta, flanked by a narrow ribbon of development along La 23 that includes Port Sulphur, Buras, and Venice. This 1983 topographic-bathymetric study reveals the complex relationship between industrial utility and environmental conservation in the wetlands. The vast Sulphur Mining Area sits adjacent to sensitive coastal habitats like the Delta National Wildlife Refuge and the Bohemia State Wildlife Management Area.
