1994 Map of Mitchell Island

About this map

Mitchell Island and the surrounding marshy lowlands of St. Bernard Parish are the focus of this 1990s-era topographical study, illustrating the intricate network of tidal channels and bays that define the Louisiana coastline. Navigational markers such as the Mitchell Key Light emphasize the importance of these waters for maritime passage into the broader Chandeleur Sound. The map reveals a delicate landscape where land and water are inextricably linked, featuring named passages like Elephant Point Pass and Keelboat Pass that cut through the coastal fringe.
