About this map

Chandeleur Sound dominates this mid-century survey of the marshy outer reaches of St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana. The landscape is defined by a network of low-lying islands and shallow bays, where navigation depends on specific passages like Elephant Point Pass and Keelboat Pass. Landmasses such as Martin Island, Mitchell Island, and the Holmes Islands emerge from the water, often barely two feet above mean sea level according to topographic data from 1952.
