About this map

Gulf of Mexico waters dominate this coastal portion of Saint Bernard Parish, where the intricate maritime landscape of southeastern Louisiana is defined by a shifting network of passes and bayous. The map documents the fragmented landforms of the outer marsh, including named landmasses like Skiff Island, Dry Bread Island, and Comfort Island. Significant waterways such as Bayou la Loutre and Martinbox Bayou weave through the tidal environment, providing essential navigation routes for local maritime activities.

The area is anchored by Morgan Harbor and the adjacent Morgan Harbor Pass, which lead into the broader expanse of Chandeleur Sound. Further south, the map identifies Twilight Harbor and Chicot Pass, illustrating the complex hydrography of the region. Distinctive coastal markers like Point Eliza and Point Cahill serve as key navigational reference points in an area where the line between sea and land is constantly redefined by the tides of Eloi Bay and the surrounding sound.
