About this map

Morgan Harbor and the surrounding coastal marshlands of Saint Bernard Parish are defined by an intricate network of waterways and shifting landforms as they appeared in 2012. The presence of the Treasure Island Gas Field and the Chandeleur Sound Block 25 Oil Field reflects the industrial footprint of energy extraction in this maritime environment. Navigable channels such as Bayou La Loutre cut through the landscape, linking larger bodies like Eloi Bay with secluded reaches like Old Harry Bayou.

Named geographical features like Dry Bread Island, Skiff Island, and Rawhead Island suggest a history of local maritime navigation and naming traditions. This survey captures the fragile geometry of the Louisiana coast, where points of land such as Point Lydia and Codfish Point stand as markers against the encroaching waters of Twilight Harbor. The layout of bayous, including Bayou Julia and Martinbox Bayou, illustrates the complex hydrology of the Mississippi River Delta's outer reaches.
