About this map

Russell Sage Foundation State Game Refuge dominates the northern portion of this coastal survey, where the wetland landscape of Marsh Island meets the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The area is defined by its intricate aquatic network, featuring the convergence of the West Branch and East Branch Oyster Bayou into the main channel of Oyster Bayou. To the south, the Shell Keys Bird Reservation and various Shell Reefs indicate the biological importance of these coastal barrier features in the early 1950s. Geologic landmarks like Mound Point and South Point serve as the primary terrestrial markers along this stretch of the Louisiana coast, where East Cote Blanche Bay opens to the east. This 1951 field check provides a detailed look at the shoreline before significant modern erosion, documenting the exact positions of oyster and shell reefs as they existed mid-century.
